Who does this blog belong to? And will someone please tell me that "William Lilly foresees the Great Fire of London" is going to see print? That is one of the most beautiful poems I've run across in days.

I started crying when I read Hunt in the Forest; long time since a poem's done that for me.

It was absolutely of the highest academic quality, as was my fellow Cantabridgian Research Fellow Pete Forshaw's piece on linkages between alchemy and astrology in medieval and Renaissance periods.

I need to look up this paper now ('oh, dear,' says my brain, as it notes that it was read at a conference, and so may possibly entail going to great extremes and/or JStor expense to read it).
Looks like the paper abstracts are here: http://www.lamp.ac.uk/Sophia/events/

You should tell him.

Psst. I have a JSTOR account. Tell me what papers you want; I will snag them.
