Thursday Music: On Spirits Free and Freeing the Spirit

 

 

 

And an extra bit…here’s to ole D.H. Lawrence:

“… it was ugliness which betrayed the spirit of man… The great crime which the moneyed classes and promoters of industry committed in the palmy Victorian days was the condemning of the workers to ugliness, ugliness, ugliness: meanness and formless and ugly surroundings, ugly ideals, ugly religion, ugly hope, ugly love, ugly clothes, ugly furniture, ugly houses, ugly relationship between workers and employers. The human soul needs actual beauty even more than bread.”

~Nottingham and the Mining Country, 1929
