02:06 pm - Ceremonial deism Sunday


A Methodist Jeremiad issued from the Marsh Chapel pulpit this morning, at least to my radio ear, but it won't be available online for a while.

What-on-earth accent do the two red-haired sisters in this video have?

This absolutely requires headphones as it has an enormous dynamic range.

I didn't like this arrangement at first, as it differs from the usual one. But if the animal cry at 0:55 doesn't knock the air out of you then nothing can. And then it goes down and down to complete deadness, which is perfect.

When David heard that Abaslom was slain
He went to his chamber, his chamber and wept.
And as he went, he wept and said,
"O! my son! O my son. Would God I had died,
Would God I had died, would God I had died,
For thee, O Absalom, my son, my son, my son!
Would God I had died, would God I had died,
For thee, O Abaslom, my son, my son, my son.
My son."

03:55 pm - Contraction
There was a point in the 2nd Century when the Roman Empire was so energetic that it was able to build a wall across southern Scotland to mark the Empire's outer limit. And then things began to contract. And once they began to contract, they never expanded again.
