AV News 191 - February 2013
Shortly after her funeral, I reviewed the DVD of some of Doreen and George's
sequences which was produced a few years ago by their son David. I was
deeply moved by a visual interpretation made by Doreen in 1974 of a work
by Kathleen Raine, a poet who died in 2003, by a remarkable coincidence at
the age of 95. It is entitled 'God rested from all his work on the seventh day'.
The last few lines are I think a most evocative and fitting epitaph to a
remarkable and dear lady.
"Every natural form, living and moving, delights these eyes that are no longer
mine, that open upon earth and sky, pure vision. Nature sees, sees itself, is
both seer and seen. This is the divine repose, that watches the ever changing
light and shadow, rock and sky and ocean."
A video of the sequence can be found at:
