- Series 4.20, Dante's Purgatorio 20
More on the terrace of Avarice, with a condemnation of evil French kings, and examples of avarice and its opposite, which we're calling the virtue of letting go. And a mysterious earthquake at the end.
24 min - Series 4.19, Dante's Purgatorio 19
Dante's dream of the bewitching siren's glamour, then the rituals for leaving the terrace of Sloth. Next comes the terrace of Avarice - too much love for the tools our ego identifies with: power, prestige, possessions. You heal from this by embracing the earth, as Dante witnesses.
23 min - Series 4.18, Dante's Purgatorio 18
More about love, and free will, and then the rushing crowd of those who'd been slothful, coming past so fast that Dante can hardly catch what's being said.
24 min - Series 4.17.2, Dante's Purgatorio 17
We see the final rituals as Dante leaves the Terrace of Anger and then comes to a stop at the Terrace of Sloth, while Virgil gives us a lesson on the ways love goes wrong. [This is a re-posting after the previous posting contained an audio error.]
21 min - Series 4.17, Dante's Purgatorio 17
We see the final rituals as Dante leaves the Terrace of Anger and then comes to a stop at the Terrace of Sloth, while Virgil gives us a lesson on the ways love goes wrong.
21 min - Series 4.16, Dante's Purgatorio 16
We spend the canto in the dark, suffocating smoke of the terrace of Anger, and get an answer to the big question of why the world is so evil.
32 min - Series 4.15, Dante's Purgatorio 15
More on Envy, and sharing, and then the rise up to the level where Anger is cleansed, with an internal video about meekness (which is not what you thought meekness meant). And then a very dark ending to the canto.
27 min - Series 3.20, Stevenson's Fables: "The Song of the Morrow"
The masterpiece of the Fables, an eerie, haunting fairy tale about a "king's daughter" and her discovery of "the thought for the morrow" and "the power upon the hour".
41 min - Series 3.19, Stevenson's Fables: "The Tadpole and the Frog"
Just two lines, a put-down by the rebellious teenager against the disapproving adult.
8 min - Series 3.18, Stevenson's Fables: "The Four Reformers"
Four reformers discuss how to change the world. The conclusion is startling, but it makes good sense when we stop and think about it.
