The documentary looks great--I've bookmarked it. We are documentary nerds around hear, just not much time for viewing.<br /><br />I need to look for my transcript on the laptop--which is usually in use, as it is now, by one of our kids. It was a short talk, about 20-25 minutes, which I gave at a women's Christmas dessert last year. Chesterton's poem, The House of Christmas, was one of my inspirations. Home and Beauty are two universal ideas which interest me.<br /><br />Scruton has also written a book, Beauty, but I've not yet read it.Quotidian Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621964632808884901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696514072851165531.post-14345220991767001452012-02-08T08:24:33.067-05:002012-02-08T08:24:33.067-05:00No, I haven't. Do you have a recommendation f...No, I haven't. Do you have a recommendation for a good place to start? I just found this documentary, Why Beauty Matters, here: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/why-beauty-matters/. I'm going to save the link and watch it soon. I would love you hear your talk. Is there a recording or a transcript you'd will willing to share? :-)Woman of the Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281605927650100295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696514072851165531.post-10641090561276712532012-02-08T08:11:47.701-05:002012-02-08T08:11:47.701-05:00I always enjoy your commonplace book posts, Martha...I always enjoy your commonplace book posts, Martha, and have copied some of your quotes into my own commonplace book. I liked all of these for different reasons, but the one by Roger Scraton struck me as it is very similar (the idea--his language is more eloquent!) to something I shared in a talk I gave last year on Home. Have you read anything Scraton has written on beauty?Quotidian Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621964632808884901noreply@blogger.com
