- In this episode I show you Ross Wilson’s portrait of the young CS Lewis, together with Ross's own comments on that portrait in a letter to me. Then read, from Lewis's letters to Arthur Greeves, his own account of how he met Yeats! After that I read you an extract from Lewis's long poem Dymer in which he describes a magician who is clearly based on that earlier description of Yeats.
Dr. Guite. Royce Johnson here from distressed America. I have served as City Director of CSL Institute in Belfast...2016-2019. Became a good friend of Ross....feeling very privileged. He recently sent me portrait of CSL as 8 yo. A treasured gift. Now, even more so, in light of your insightful comments. Prayers. Royce
(not my family photo, apologies to this couple).
thanks, yes Ross is an amazing and generous artist!
Looking forward to more Yeats and Lewis too. May the Lord bless you and your work.
Coming soon!
A wee bit of insomnia tonight so I'm binging on all your videos. Can't wait for a new one!
Hope you enjoy!
I loved the connections you made. What an experience it must have been to meet Yeats.
I think so too!
This is utterly delightful. Could I come for a real, in person visit one day?
Ah one day we’ll all be able to visit again
@@MalcolmGuitespell I'll take it! Thank you for your hospitality, even if it's virtual!
Ross Wilson,Malcolm Guite,CS Lewis,all these wonderful connections.
well I finally FEEL like I got to sit down with Malcolm...all hail Corona! LoL ...though I suspect this did not take much out of his schedule I suspect a melee of "want mores" around the bend...
thanks. its a pleasure to open up my study for these little 'visits'
