Everything flows


On Monday, The Shape of Water won the Oscar for Best Picture.


Theatre of the Actors of Regard 
On Wednesday, we read in Seamus Heaney's Seeing Things :

    Everything flows. Even a solid man, 

    A pillar to himself and to his trade, 
    All yellow boots and stick and soft felt hat

    Can sprout wings at the ankle and grow fleet 

    As the god of fair days, stone posts, roads and crossroads, 
    Guardian of travelers and psychopomp.

    'Look for a man with an ashplant on the boat,' 

    My father told his sister heading out 
    For London, 'and stay near him all night 

    And you‘ll be safe.' Flow on, flow on 

    The journey of the soul with its soul guide 
    And the mysteries of dealing-men with sticks! 

 - Seamus Heaney : Seeing Things | Squarings | Crossings | xxvii


Yesterday, Buxton Contemporary opened to the public with The shape of things to come.
