Today's travelling companions: Mervyn Peake, with the god-like John Coltrane playing Crescent on my headphones.
Finding my revisit to Gormenghast & its stultifying rituals particularly interesting in light of our own recent royal ceremonial nonsense.

A little al-fresco reading break before heading home. Forecast for thunder and rain tomorrow, may as well enjoy the fine weather while it lasts, read in sunlight, with breeze by the water & sound of birdsong.

"Over their irregular roofs would fall throughout the seasons, the shadows of time-eaten buttresses..."
#LunchtimeReading : Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake, choice for the #Edinburgh SF Book Group for July.
Haven't revisited this since my teens...

I’ve been keen to rewatch this for a while. And while I know #NeilGaiman is developing a new version I’d like to see this one again now. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0197154/ #MervynPeake #Television #00sTV #Fantasy #Horror #Weird #JonathanRhysMeyers #TVadaptations

His painting of the same name - Sensitive, Seldom and Sad. In the novel, Steerpike describes a different painting next to the poem.

A different version of this appears in one of the early chapters Peake's Gormenghast Trilogy (Chp 23 of Titus Groan). This version I found in his Collected Nonsense and it totally rocks teenage goth mopiness.
A Peake painting of these three characters in the comments below.

I've been looking for this quote for years. Finally.
"No, Alfred, I do not think. Thought is for mortals. I am a woman." Irma Prunesquallor, Gormenghast.
