Janet Lewison Ondaatje's English Patient and Morrison's Beloved.

Although I always  say Morrison is the BEST …I adore The  English Patient and it has that ‘tingle factor’ of recognition that only visionary Artists are able to ‘gift’ us.

‘If  he could walk across the room and touch her he would be sane.’ ( English Patient)

‘A fully Dressed woman walked out of the water.’ ( Beloved)

Both have a lyrical even biblical intensity which renders knowledge absolute, even miraculous! Personal Confirmation has become transcendent Communion. Enabling and elevating poetry?
