THE QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 September 2016

Extract

Today I know what I want to say, but on the other hand I am a little uncertain about how to approach it because some of the material is, shall we say, ‘delicate’. So excuse me for using Bob Gilmore as a way in, a role I think he would have relished.

The Dreamer that Remains: A Portrait of Harry Partch, directed by Stephen Pouliot; Macmillan Films 1974. Pouliot's title is taken from Laurens van der Post's book about the Kalahari bushmen, The Lost World of the Kalahari (Hogarth Press, London 1958); van der Post in turn is quoting a couplet from a poem by the South African poet Roy Campbell which he uses on the title page. The whole couplet runs: ‘Pass World!: I am the dreamer that remains;/The man clear cut against the horizon’.
