We ‘zoom’ into Section 3 of Book V, with the Brueghel painting, which is discussed in great detail
0130
The particularity of Brueghel’s work is compared to the local work that Williams picks up on. More discussion of Brueghel follows
0232
The relation between gifts and art is mentioned
0276
The particularity of Brueghel’s Joseph scene is immediately followed and associated with the local work
0299
The letter from Edward is discussed
0320
The connection between art and the imagination as escapes of death is seen in Book V. The tapestries stayed 500 years
0400
The serpent with a tail in its mouth is discussed
0448
The unicorn appears, to Bowering, as an image of art as a record of the imagination, where love is engendered
0483
On the significance of digging in Paterson
0504
The flowers of particularity in relation to the unicorn’s capture is touched upon. The description of every kind of flower hints that by showing the whole of the world, the magical qualities embodied in the unicorn may be appreciated
0601
The last page of Book V is gone through line by line
0639
The significance of ‘in-ter-vention’
0696
‘Assume’ is linked to the Hamiltonian ‘appropriate’
0706
“The unicorn is not going to leap into your garden if you do not make the effort to be ready for it, if you don’t have a virgin out there to capture it”, notes Bowering
0735
Bowering was initially bothered by the end lines of Book V, but the tape cuts short before he can explain how he resolved this
