about

The Nun's Erotic Mushroom Epiphany (9.40)

The Nun sits down to rest in a meadow. Here she notices several strangely pointed mushrooms growing in the grass. Hungry, she begins to pick and eat them. After a while she experiences a great euphoria and visionary state of bliss in which the world comes alive in such colours and patterns as she has never seen before. In this state she meets The Boy, the lazy ne'er-do-well of folk-tale, the ever-wandering Jack who plays music upon his pipe. She dances in a frenzied delirium; she undresses and they make love. Exeunt The Boy, leaving The Nun sleeping in the meadow. When she wakes she finds she no longer has any need of God or Religion, much less pilgrimage. She burns her habit, hair shirt, scapula, veil and wimple and dances away laughing, symbolically naked into the rising mists.

about

Hermione Harvestman UK

'I feel like Wainwright - we are both hermetic ramblers. He made his books for when he was no longer capable of rambling his beloved fells, and I made my music for when I'm no longer able to ramble the by-ways of Albion - but only to listen, and think "Was that really me? That solitary figure who stood in a landscape dreaming of ages past in dread fear of the future."
