43 — John Ruskin's 'Stones of Venice' — Shafts!
We discuss the first two volumes of 'Stones of Venice' — the interminable first and dream-like second. Shafts, archivolts, more shafts, rotten and sun-whitened vegetation, encrustation, palaces (Gothic and Byzantine), melancholy ruins, the sound of distant seabirds, and lapis luzuli and gold aplenty.
Thanks for listening — we're gearing up for a productive autumn I hope.
