  3. David Jones stands as a vital and original figure among 20th Century British poets. His work challenges readers with its complexity, but rewards with profound insights into war, culture, and spirituality.

  4. Seeing in the dark

    Sitting this evening by the window, with the small sparkling lights of traffic flickering down the garden from the road beyond, there seemed to be no border, no place in myself or in the luminous dark beyond the glass where I could find an end or a beginning. Great upwellings of thought came and dispersed, leaving no memory I could discern in that moment. Somehow it was as though a crystalline space surrounded me; and yet I was that edgeless expanse just as much as I was the almost motionless body whose weight now rested in an immeasurable skein of gravity conditioned by who knew what accretions of mass and causes, out beyond discerning.

    “The spiritual warrior fights darkness not other humans”, said Tara Brach in a recent podcast; and yet it is not a fight as anyone would think of combat. It is merely a settled intent to understand, to love, what is – David Jones‘ “…for only what is actually loved and known can be seen sub specie aeternitatis“. Jones is referring, I assume, to Spinoza’s use of the phrase: to see something sub specie aeternitatis being to understand it as a part of the infinite and eternal substance – God or Nature (Deus sive Natura) – beyond the constraints of time and place. (Ethics 5, p23s)

    To sit in silence, and to love what actually is – this is possibly the most revolutionary act we are capable of. And yet even to say that is a thought; but what it represents is not. It is no thing; and to see it is to be no more than the night air, and the evening star over the leafless hazels. Only be still.

  13. By jove, am I embarrassed or what: Did not bother to see this when it came out (in the 1890s) as I foolishly thought at the time #TwinPeaks could not be improved.. even with a prequel.
    Why was I not informed #Starman #DavidJones was in it AND #ChrisIsaacs? Darling #DavidLynch, what an #auteur, a true #AmericanTreasure who left this decaying experiment, not a moment too soon.

  18. Even #DavidJones - that Australian bastion of middle-class-ness - is now a lost cause. Used to be a reasonable place to find foodie xmas gifts. Now? Not so much.

    I might just end up baking shortbread this afternoon.

    Joke. Joke.

    A pak jsem zjistil, že jediný účet, který používá je na facebooku 🤔.

  27. And in the end I will seek you Out amongst
    The stars.
    The space dust
    Of me will
    Whisper
    “I love you”
    Into the infinity Of the universe.

    Poem from David Jones’ book “Love & Space Dust”
