"How like an Angel Came I Down"
- Thomas Traherne, "Wonder"
- music by Gerald Finzi- "Dies Natalis"
From Anton's Journal, The Final Days, August 2012-
"I have not much confidence about the outcome of my next trip to the doctor. Jenny (the chaplain at the Village) came down yesterday and had a great conversation. Mentioned the "Jacob's Ladder". I didn't know where to find it in the Bible I said in Genesis. I checked this and found it... I put myself to sleep near a mountain and used some stone to lay his head on. Then as he went to sleep he dreamt about a ladder came down from the heavens and angels climbed up and down it and God was in the heaven... What was the purpose of this happening? I feel cold. "
Anton was admitted to hospital not long after this was written and he wrote- "If I would feel better I would go to look for sticks." His last sketch before he died was called "My Mother".
Anton also wrote in 1984 that his art was an attempt to explore the mysteries of the unconscious mind.
His artistic output was extensive and ranged through all the media available- the above is an example of a series of bark paintings.
Is this all there is? For Anton this question was a recurring theme throughout his life- as it is for his descendants.
