Tabula rasa, concerto for 2 violins (1977)
In vain I attempt to document the synchronicities of life, of which there are too many. This one from today shall be the only of note. What is the synchronicity you ask. Well Tabula Rasa is the title of this track, and also the name of a secret society of people trying to erase all traces of true magic from the Earth realm, by hiding texts and destrying all knowledge of the occult. The book is Imajica by Clive Barker.
A decent book from the genre of horror, of which I have for a long time departed since I read Stephen King as a young ‘un. Read the blurb for yourself.
“A book of revelations. A seamless tapestry of erotic passion, thwarted ambition and mythic horror. Clive Barker takes us on a voyage to worlds beyond our knowledge, but within our grasp. John Furie Zacharias, known as Gentle, a master forger whose life is a series of lies. Judith Odell, a beautiful woman desired by three powerful men, but belonging to none of them. Pie’oh’pah, a mysterious assassin who deals in love as well as death. These three are united in a desperate search for the heart of a universal mystery, and will find the truth that lies in a place as mysterious as the face of God, and as secret as the human soul. They discover the Imajica. Imajica is many things: an epic novel of vast panoramas and intimate, obsessive passions, embracing ghosts and reflections as well as the human and the divine.”
