I love it when different reading overlaps and mutually informs. Powys's characters inhabit a living environment in which the English trees, rocks, rivers and even the mud forming the river bed are all inhabited by a living animus with thoughts, feelings and influences. I've just finished a chapter titled The River in which the being of MC John Crow temporarily merges with a riverside willow tree shoot.

Powys seems to express a Deist view of natural religion, which I'm also reading about in the tagged, so I've an interlinked feeling 🕸️
