Walking off the devils. Music of excorcism!
The Devils 4/5 ,
If you are religious ( or religious and catholic) I’d pass
Mostly about religious hysteria used for political ends by Cardinal Richelieu against a town that wanted to maintain its walls and hugonaut tolerance. Well done , could have toned down the sex and decadence and a better film. Also slight acting and tropes of the 70 that may be considered artsy. Not what was proffer in most reviews worth seeing.
Making peace with schimatics will not hold @MatiosTV
Histórico: el Papa León XIV y el rey Carlos III intercambian tÃtulos religiosos por primera vez en 500 años
El Papa León XIV ha sido nombrado Confrater Papal de la Capilla de San Jorge, en Windsor, mientras que el rey Carlos III ostenta el tÃtulo de Confrater Real de la BasÃlica de San Pablo Extramuros, en Roma.
Este gesto, anunciado un año después de su histórico encuentro en el Vaticano, supone un nuevo paso en el acercamiento entre la Iglesia católica y la Iglesia anglicana, separadas desde el siglo XVI.

The bee-buzz in my ear
Loud droning wave like
close then farther,
Reminds Sappho’s
Fragmentary whisper,
… if you want the honey,
Forsake not the honey maker…

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Passer Mortuus Est was published in Millay's collection, Second April (1921).
Death devours all lovely things;
Lesbia with her sparrow
Shares the darkness,—presently
Every bed is narrow.
Unremembered as old rain
Dries the sheer libation,
And the little petulant hand
Is an annotation.
After all, my erstwhile dear,
My no longer cherished,
Need we say it was not love,
Now that love is perished?

Catullus and Millay
If you take photos of what you actually are reading the pile is much smaller. I have about 300 books in my to read pile I am listening to Vanity Fair, reading Woolf’s the waves and rereading Auden. This is actually pretty much 100 % capacity
@zenahitz @booksoftitans @sebs_tweets @MicMars @lilchiva @NahanniFinanci1 @MinxyOwl (I will be adding one more to the pile 😉) @Porkchop_EXP @Gerald_Ashley @MatiosTV
Well Auden it has to be said he knows how to end things @zenahitz @MatiosTV @MicMars @PaulPortesi @booksoftitans @sebs_tweets @OldWhit04471679 @HouseOfLeavesMD @NahanniFinanci1
Amazed , somewhat befuddled, but overall impressed!
Audiobook
Middlemarch by George Elliot.
I am glad I read Middlemarch as I can discuss it intelligently, it has the problems of being long winded, gossipy, and very prudish in an odd way. It is almost all the romances are so devoid of sex or attraction other than the most sublime form of amor sans eros, this does not have to be, sex and attraction can be implied as in Thackery's Vanity Fair. All the relations have no sexual energy. I find the characters are written for Elliot's convenience rather than having a life of their own. It should be read but it is far less than I expected, it suffers from the serialization and length making the editing of the unnecessary out of the volumes impossible. As I move through looking at the English novel, I think that this may be the most middling thing I have read.
