December 22, 2019



City Center to see Ailey Revealed. A friend was just telling me how great Judith Jamison is and then I come across her picture. She choreographed two pieces: A Case of You and Divining. Ailey's Revelations was the best. Really liked Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham.



The bosom of Abraham reminded me of Mistress Quickly's report of Falstaff's death:
Nay, sure, he’s not in hell! He’s in Arthur’s
bosom, if ever man went to Arthur’s bosom.
Mistress Quickly, in William Shakespeare, Henry V, Act 2, Scene 3.

The original:
And it came to pass, that the beggar(Lazarus) died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 16:19-31 King James Version (KJV)
