		FINN was one time out on the green of Almhuin, and he saw what had the appearance of a grey fawn running across the plain.

		But Finn made no answer, for he had not the courage to say to them that he himself was Finn their leader, being as he was an ailing downhearted old man, without leaping, without running, without walk, grey and sorrowful.

	Mythology of the Mississippi
		In Huck Finn the river is attributed with a great sacredness--it's a place where race and racial issues between Huck and Jim can be transcended, it's an otherworldly space in that way.
		In Huckleberry Finn, Huck uses the Mississippi as his own River of the Dead, to bear him away when he fakes his death (Twain Huck 47); it continues to carry him away from the concerns of life, and keep him hidden from people who are searching for him.
		But these are all outside allegories, outside mythologies being pasted onto the content of the story and the actual river of the story (the Mississippi, not the Styx or Lethe).

	THE BROOKLYN RAIL - MUSIC
		Far and away my favorite recent discovery is Simon Finn’s Pass the Distance, a dark, haunting, frequently unwieldy mix of English folk music, late-sixties psychedelia, free-form jazz, and studio experimentation that transcends its apparent influences and obvious flaws to create something utterly timeless and distinct.
		Simon Finn first strolled into London in 1967, a stringy-haired, frail-voiced Donovan-styled troubadour who spent his nights on park benches and his days charming impressionable young women with his whimsically romantic folk compositions.
		In the studio, Keary encouraged Finn’s recent experiments, pushing the music even further away from the folk tradition that had given it birth—along with any potential for commercial acceptance—with his generous use of stereo panning and echo effects.
