phew horsemouth is back with you.
he thought he'd lost his blogger account (he had visions of having to put together a new one - prospective title horsemouthfolk revival).
this is ironic following on from his comments on facebook yesterday;
'if the great myspace blog dieback and the facebook notes tool obliteration has taught him one thing it is the importance of diversifying cultural output and storage across many platforms.'
horsemouth would like to tempt people out to his substack (where he unfurls more of his kipple).
horsemouth has become interested in jean-jacques rousseau's seventh walk from his reveries of the solitary walker.
'I have only just begun to write down all my long reveries and already I can feel that I shall soon have finished. another pastime has taken over and now absorbs me so completely that I do not even have time for dreaming...'
what is this miracle hobby? botany! rousseau had botanised before but as he grew older it grew more interesting to him. he started writing the reveries in autumn 1776 but by july 1778 he was dead. the seventh walk is the last one with a fair copy in rousseau's own handwriting.
