David, I'm glad for your approach to this subject. 'Of this a lot more could be said'. I'll not try to pin it down., but a memory stirred, and I read this: "extramission" or "emission" theory, proposed that vision was not solely about receiving information from the outside world, but also about the eyes actively emitting or projecting something to perceive the world". which takes us back to the Greek mind and our heritage.
PS Mark Vernon is giving us snippets and I think his book on Blake will be a must
PPS Satish is still giving talks I learn. Homecoming at The Lost Garden’s of Heligan in Cornwall Satish Kumar, Sunday 15th June. There are lots of others during the festial.
Thank you Philip, that’s very interesting. I have already pre ordered Mark Vernon’s book from our local bookshop - I am trying to break my lazy Amazon habit. I am looking forward to reading it. I like the emission theory. Which Festival is this?
Thank you. That looks lovely, and a venue I know well. A bit far for me and although there is much going on in Bridport, but we don’t have anything quite like that. It is quite like a Harmony event and a nice mix of things and styles.

Totally agree about Amazon.
