We've just returned from an excellent concert in York - The Galeazzi ensemble playing Mozart, Gyrowetz, Dittersdorf and Hoffmeister Flute quartets. Jolly stuff to cheer up a very wet day Christmas shopping in town!! |

No, but if Colin Wilson in the 1950s thought Beckett had done so then I suppose the quotation is, strictly speaking, correct.  |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

I like the way colin was able to 'free think' and say 'what tosh, life is often fab', he nearly topped himself at 16, yer know, but came to realise, that life was worth living, I like his positive viewpoint, in a time when everyone else was being negative, he has been a voice, crying out 'noooooooooooo sartre was too negative !' for some time. But mainly, I like the bluntness of 'I thought ‘What ****ing shit! Who is this half-witted Irishman who’s going around saying life’s not worth living?' I sometimes wonder if life is worth the hassle, but I think it is, and i don't think i am the only one. well,ok, i also liked rushing around facebook earlier today plugging colin wilson's view on some sartre/existentialist groups as some friends had mentioned existentialist angst on their status |
