| Bio: | Poliphilo is in love with Polia. They have been playing hide and seek for a long time now.
I'm in my 50s, married to Ailz, with 3 grown-up kids from an earlier marriage. I've been an Anglican priest, a Pagan and a Wiccan High Priest and now I'm nothing in particular.
I care about the arts- and most deeply about cinema.
I sit at the computer and I write.

PURCHAS
Purchas is a medieval teenager who, entirely by accident, gets to drink the elixir of immortality.
I've been posting her adventures, in installments over at ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) purchas
There are now four completed books.
Purchas: The Crown and the Thorn Bush, set in the 1480s.
Purchas: The Wild Hunt, set in 1529.
Purchas: Tragical-comical-historical-pastoral, set in 1607.
Purchas: The Embarkation For Cythera, set in 1670.

I like to talk. Befriend me and (unless you're a nazi) I'll befriend you back.

WELL, MY ANCESTORS WERE QUAKERS
There is a kind of poetic writing
The young do best. It’s to do with colours,
Textures and scent, and our English masters
Are Hopkins and Keats- but neither man
Would have written that way had they lived to be forty.
The older I get the more I find
I admire a Protestant aesthetic
Of plain white walls with nothing but hatchments
To break the drift. Plain thoughts, plain words
And none of your artful fol-de-rols
To please the girls. Lets keep it as clean
As a sword blade crossing an open Bible.
