Virtuous Prince

March 15th, 2010

I’d love to tell this guy how much I love and admire his attention to prose and from the perspective of “clarity IS style”. Opon further consideration I had to temper it with the reality that his style of storytelling is most reminiscent of two elderly yet passionate, drunk yet focused, Tudor geeks having a long drunken jack-off at a bar session with the elegance to let each other speak fully before clipping off on a somewhat relevant tangent.

All Tudorphile of course.

I’m really enjoying it. Thanks, dude.

The significance of Henry′s reign is, at times, overshadowed by his six marriages. David Starkey′s Henry VIII, however, will look beyond the marriages to explore the man, his obsessions, his life and his legacy.

oh oh See Dear Courtney , i found something to say about your last reading this time .
Love, admiration and respect.

I’ve not read books on Henry yet having visited the Abbey in Glastonbury, and received the account of his orders to establish his church at all expense to injury upon those that would not submit, I saw a glimpse to the devastation upon the people and land I had not known of. To then walk the Tor and feel the earth and air as older than time: a place in-between worlds, the beauty of shadowed for the moment, with the story of men hung at St Michael’s Tor because of their beliefs. If there is something to learn by the Tudors or by anyone in power through history may we be wiser for human follies where contemptible greed, and corruption prevailed. A more complete dissertation, or series of thoughts by subject, is worthy for such cause in modern practicality is of interest.
