King Crimson - Enclosures of the Word "Kind"
Reticence
Jon Green:Considering that your work on the first four King Crimson albums turn out to be an even more singular achievement than anyone might have imagined, I wonder why it is you have been so reticent to discuss the grand edifice you constructed all those years ago?
Peter Sinfield:
1) Small light large bushel?2) Patience is a virtual?
3) Lack of university education is a blessing but AH the LACK of discipline!!!
4) When is a channel not a channel¿ Look I cannot proceed with this ritual if someone steals my rattle!!
4) I refer you to umm TH White and the Merlin trilogy. . .
Your web site is truly an amazing and beautiful work - where do you find the time?
I am still coming to terms with the implications of your implications.
Some of your assumptions are umm er, assumptions . . . .I think! And some are remarkable insights into my guides and influences - Much is extraordinary --- well we all know that.
Jon Swinghammer:Is there anything to what Jon Green is saying about your lyrics?
Peter Sinfield:
"I am amused/amazed & bemused to say there is! However although he unwittingly flatters my knowledge regarding Fred2 and ignores the er, Courts of Arthur, Alexander, Borge, Rameses, Victoria, Augustus, Louis, JFK, Elizabeth1, Charlemagne, Saladin, Assorted Mings, Xerxes, A Foundation Here and A Worm Rider There Etc Etc. . .ie any ruler who presided over an intense period of learning, yearning and burning and apparently benificial progress(HA) towards the elevation of mankind - Since Fred2 is a such a suitable archytype for said societal rumblings (allegoricaly speaking) -It would be churlish of me to quibble!!! -
He has also on many occasions, to my astonishment, rumbled my more obscure, though pointed and mischievous references to the gnostic, mystic and slapstick!"
