SIDE HOLE

We found SIDE HOLE in Marsha Schuchard’s book WHY MRS BLAKE CRIED- William Blake and the Sexual Basis of Spiritual Vision. All about the curious characters & groups that surrounded him as he grew. It seems that lots of them venerated the wound in Christ’s side as a sexual thing. (The sexuality around Christ is quite fascinating.)

We would say go for the Gnostic thing if you need support: Abraham, Christ & the Muslim thing are far to patriarchal. Swing low sweet chariot.

If the SMIES pic is in here, note: that’s a wordsound I often make when I flop upon my bed. Which is where I draw, write, read, monitor the radio & sometimes sleep. So.

Things are in the saddle and ride mankind- Emerson?
