| Remembering to forget to rememember... |
I remembered a short story by Milan Kundera called, 'A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings' and how much it had inspired the novel, Skellig but also how it chimed with ideas on Icarus and angels and such winged creatures, which led me to the film Wings of Desire, as such thoughts tend to do - constantly making connections - but the Wings of Desire film took me to Paris, Texas and I reflected on that too while I was about it and all these started to take shape into a central theme on loneliness which is an interesting theme too. it is one I used to mull over and I hadn't quite seen Icarus in that light until now. I'm not sure how it can be explored - having just completed for publication the paper, Icarus and Intimacy for Axon Journal, with the 'webmeister'. But its an interesting thought which I record here, while and at the same time play the theme tune to Paris, Texas, which is Ry Cooder at his most sublime.
