From Antiphon to Al-Fatihah

Roaming Desolation Row in the hills above Glen-car; from The Lyceum to Bait al-Hikma; seeking Aristotle, Ibn Rushd, Dante, Yeats & Dylan

Hard to believe Bob Dylan had recorded 7 albums by the time he was 25 and 11 before he reached 30;
including many timeless epics, such as today’s choice.

@ThisIsIreland3 @PaulByrne_1 This is sad; when I worked in Cork I used to go to the daily morning Mass; went back a few times recently again. My favourite church…Very sad

@athenaeumbc Timing is the essence of discovery; currently re-rereading Virgil whilst Dante’s is my go to, never stop reading book.

@paulmurphy_TD Ironically; by going on strike taxi drivers are giving people no option but to use Uber…

@DrUmarAlQadri Ireland has become a cesspit of intolerance my friend, if I were you I’d ignore them

@GardaTraffic I was driving home, motorway, no vehicles coming behind me, 3 large lorries in front of me. I went to overtake, safely reaching 120KPH. A vehicle surged right up behind me, I had nowhere to go. They put on full beam lights, I was almost blinded, pulled in, barely. Terrifying.

@hillsdaleonline I began my Dante journey with Dr Smith, it gave me an understanding, a grounding in how The Divine Comedy should be understood. Looking forward to Dr Smith’s lessons on Paradise Lost now.

@hillsdaleonline Watching it here as I have been doing for some months now, an absolute masterclass of learning

@booksoftitans Trojan Women is for me his Magnus Opus: Sticks in my heart every time I read it

[From Antiphon to Al-Fatihah @misterdprine]

@DrUmarAlQadri Well done and the very best of luck to you

[From Antiphon to Al-Fatihah @misterdprine]

@booksoftitans Almost a book a week…..
That’s impressive
When I read a book I have to read it at least once more to get a handle on it.

@StokeyyG2 The only certainty with football competitions is that where England go, hooliganism follows

@sinnfeinireland @EOBroin Fianna Fáil stopped building houses and gave the country to wealthy developers, Fine Gael took it back and gave it and the houses to wealthy financiers, so I’d give Sinn Fein a shot. What could go wrong? 🥴

@DrUmarAlQadri I’ll never understand what people have against immigrants. You couldn’t throw a stone in most cities in the world without hitting an Irishman or woman.

@PaulMMCooper @Duckbooks Best of luck with it Paul, I’m looking forward to reading it

[From Antiphon to Al-Fatihah @misterdprine]

@PaulMMCooper @Fall_of_Civ_Pod @Waterstones I just finished listening to the ‘Carthage’ episode, it accompanied me on my journey home every evening over the past week or so.

The best podcast I have ever heard, just exceptional, and even that is an understatement

@BeattieDoug The best leader Northern Ireland will never have, moderate, tolerant and thoughtful; always

@ClareConvert I don’t see how anybody could object to ‘Love for all, hatred for none’….
I hope the day went well.
