The Siren Song of the Senses: Robert Bly Teaches William Blake (1988)

Robert Bly continues his master class on William Blake, exploring 'To Tirzah', which speaks of the world of the senses, of shame and pride, of life and death, of men and women. "Whate'er is born of mortal birth
Must be consumèd with the earth, To rise from generation free:
Then what have I to do with thee?"

Founded by Robert Bly in 1984, the Minnesota Men’s Conference celebrates the telling of old stories, the gifts of poetry and music, and opening our hearts to grief, wildness, and joy. We all have a yearning for lives of richness and meaning; this five-day conference is a unique opportunity to enrich ourselves in a community of other men.

RB -- Salvaging “myth” from a mis-translation of “something not true”, and once more, recognizing the vitality of deeply-personifying meaning: Mythology as synthesate perception of True.
