She should have died. In 1373, a 30-year-old woman in Norwich lay on her deathbed, given last rites. No education. No social standing. No future. And then, during one night of agony, she received a series of visions that changed Christian spirituality forever. This dying woman…

The oldest olive tree in the world is located in the village of Ano Vouves on the island of Crete, Greece. The tree is estimated to be at least 2,000 years old, and some estimates suggest it could be as much as 3,500–5,000 years old.

Abolishing juries won’t repair a broken justice system, rebuilding courts and restoring access to representation is how you prevent injustice. It’s always hard to care about that…until it’s you. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

17 November is the feast of St Hilda, abbess of Whitby, who died on this day in 680. Bede says 'her wisdom was so great that even kings and princes sought her counsel', and 'all who knew her called her Mother, because of her distinctive piety and grace.'

Keats b otd 1795! “The poetry of the earth is never dead.” “Beauty is truth, truth beauty.” “Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird!” “Time, that aged nurse, rocked me to patience.” “The excellence of every Art is its intensity.” “Love is my religion--I could die for it.”

Domenico Scarlatti b otd 1685! A unique musical voice - each sonata a gem, polished to brilliance, affording endless delight; the master of the unexpected. And here some wise advice for listeners: "Show yourself more human than critical, and then your pleasure will increase."

I am so angry after hearing about aid agencies’ difficulty in evacuating female victims because Taliban law & local custom prevent male rescuers from dealing with them—they could die!! UK Government shouldn’t be giving 1 penny without assurance that women will be helped equally.

I like this advice:

„Man sollte alle Tage wenigstens ein kleines Lied hören, ein gutes Gedicht lesen, ein treffliches Gemälde sehen und, wenn es möglich zu machen wäre, ein vernünftiges Wort sprechen.“ Johann Wolfgang Goethe, geboren am 28. August 1749 in Frankfurt am Main.

Waiting at Malpensa for a delayed flight home made much less tedious by In Tune @PetrocTrelawny !

Can’t help feeling that Reynaldo Hahn and Marcel Proust would have adored hearing Hahn’s Venetian songs performed in the velvety tones of Anthony Rolfe-Johnson with Graham Johnson at the piano… Lovely end to today’s #InTune with @PetrocTrelawny (produced by Susan Kenyon?)
