I’ve found the need to get a handle on this discussion about the personal and the universal that’s been going on in other people’s blogs, namely Jane Boyer’s ( www.a-n.co.uk/p/1800787/ ) and Anthony Boswell’s ( www.a-n.co.uk/p/984199/ ) So in the style of David Riley (see his blog entry no9 on www.a-n.co.uk/p/1101647/ ) I have scribbled down my initial thoughts. At some point, when I find the words, Jane’s discussion on abstraction will slide into it somehow, but in the meantime, I put this up for people to laugh at or comment on. A venn diagram may prove to be a better model, or some rhizomatic mass of blobs (AAARRRGGHHH!!!!). On the other hand, I may consider it all way too Arty-Bollocks and rip the page out.
