Robert Graves wrote about
the Holy Spirit being figured

00:00:07.150 --> 00:00:08.860 align:middle line:84%
as feminine in
different traditions,

00:00:08.860 --> 00:00:12.430 align:middle line:84%
and somewhere in Genesis it
said that the Holy Spirit moved

00:00:12.430 --> 00:00:19.630 align:middle line:84%
upon the face of the waters
and is connected to the Virgin

00:00:19.630 --> 00:00:26.680 align:middle line:84%
Mary, and Robert Graves connects
her to various virgin entities.

00:00:26.680 --> 00:00:28.893 align:middle line:84%
So that's through
some of these poems,

00:00:28.893 --> 00:00:30.310 align:middle line:84%
and there are also
lists of cities

00:00:30.310 --> 00:00:34.480 align:middle line:84%
that come from the archive
of lynchings in California.

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:37.710 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:39.270 align:middle line:90%
"My Daughter In From Shore."

00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:42.730 align:middle line:90%


00:00:42.730 --> 00:00:47.740 align:middle line:84%
Cement pipe cover painted blue,
shattered peels of blue paint

00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:49.690 align:middle line:90%
in the grass.

00:00:49.690 --> 00:00:52.690 align:middle line:90%
The hills seem quiet forever.

00:00:52.690 --> 00:00:56.710 align:middle line:84%
Add a meter to the mountain,
turtle choke on her plastic,

00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:01.300 align:middle line:84%
turkeys are free, two horses
touch muzzles across a fence.

00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:06.550 align:middle line:84%
Middle school dance dark,
thick around them, around us.

00:01:06.550 --> 00:01:09.910 align:middle line:84%
A shoulder remembers itself
from its impressions.

00:01:09.910 --> 00:01:15.580 align:middle line:84%
In the archive, grass, then air,
then Coloma, then unspecified,

00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:17.410 align:middle line:90%
then us.

00:01:17.410 --> 00:01:21.130 align:middle line:84%
Sweat, straw smell,
heavy stage curtains.

00:01:21.130 --> 00:01:24.970 align:middle line:84%
Not what was said, in the
nose or the good foot.

00:01:24.970 --> 00:01:27.340 align:middle line:90%
Everything is leaving.

00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:31.630 align:middle line:84%
Upon the face of the
waters, she's a fish basket.

00:01:31.630 --> 00:01:36.760 align:middle line:84%
When cocked with sedge,
caddisflies, sweet flag.

00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.200 align:middle line:90%
A winnowing sieve when on land.

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:41.000 align:middle line:90%
