Hello! Welcome!
(a few definitions of rapture)
Rapture: ecstatic joy or delight; ecstasy (It's better than E)
Not to be confused with
The Rapture: (straight from dictionary.com) the experience, expected by some fundamentalist Christians, of meeting Christ midway in the air upon his return to Earth. (lets not get into this)
Aside: Before beginning, Nabokovians, do you remember the title of my last Nabokov post?
"It is a process known as Rapture. And with sufficient skill, a person may choose to wake up in the place to which the dream takes him; to wake up, that is to say, inside the dream."
-Haroun And The Sea Of Stories, P.99.
I've clearly clicked my boots.
This sentence is too powerful for me. Everything that is contained in this very small phrase, very majusculae process fits into every category.
I am so confused by it in fact that every time I begin to write I dissect, delete, dissect, delete.
It's much too powerful for me. Too many Ideas. Too many Ideas.
I certainly can see why Shaman has picked Haroun as a frame, and why he prefers us to read it before we delve into our themes....Though it is a slow and tedious pace that my mind hates.
I'd like my cake now, thank you.
Yet, here it is, the process that I find carries so much in it. Everything in this class. Except Dolce Domum (though every time I start, I do end up back where I began. Blank. Blah. unable to Gab).
Perhaps this is a sentence that has only relative power.
But I think not.
I certainly will be returning to it, later, when I've discovered the netting.
I encourage you to delve into it too.
