It now transpires that Prince Charles and Ted Hughes had a long-term 'spiritual' association. The Poet Laureateship is an appointment of the monarch, in fact the Poet Laureate is an Officer of the Royal Household and receives a salary therefrom. BTW Prince Charles has also 'prayed' at his 'temple' with the Archbishop of Canterbury. [Captions to photos published with the article: "Hughes's tragic marital background had echoes of Charles's" "Charles and Hughes shared a passion for field sports and would fish and shoot together" - worthy of note because killing animals was a common theme in the Satanist Hughes's poetry] ***BEGIN ARTICLE*** [From Sunday Times, 4 February 2001, <http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2001/02/04/stinwenws02018.html>] Prince makes shrine to Ted Hughes Nicholas Hellen and Richard Brooks PRINCE CHARLES has dedicated a temple in his Gloucestershire garden to Ted Hughes, in tribute to the private role played by the late poet laureate as his spiritual adviser. Even intimates of the prince knew little of the nature of the relationship he forged with Hughes. Now he has made it tangible by placing a plaque in his private sanctuary. The recognition given by Charles to Hughes's role had previously been given only to one other person: the late Sir Laurens van der Post, who once led the prince on retreat into the Kalahari desert and became godfather to Prince William. Hughes, poet laureate from 1984 until his death at 68 from cancer in 1998, was a frequent guest at Highgrove and he shared with the prince an unconventional spiritual curiosity. His presence will now live on in two commemorative stained glass windows installed in the prince's private temple, hidden in a glade in the grounds. Officials at St James's Palace said this weekend that a plaque had been placed in the sanctuary since its opening a year ago, stating simply: "Windows dedicated to Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate." They were created by the Shropshire artist John Napper and depict flowers, leaves and scenes from nature. According to Charles Morris, who designed the sanctuary, it was built entirely of natural materials, in accordance with the Gaia theory, which holds that a web of links between living things controls the future of the world. Hughes's widow, Carol, who married him in 1970, is one of the only people to have seen the interior of the sanctuary, built of dried Highgrove clay with chestnut cladding on a pitched oak roof. Morris said: "The interior has not been photographed at all. Visitors to Highgrove are not shown the inside." A forthcoming biography of Hughes by Elaine Feinstein will describe how the two men had a shared passion for field sports. They shot and fished together in Scotland, on Hughes's visits to Balmoral, and went on expeditions on Dartmoor, where the Yorkshire-born Hughes lived for most of his last 30 years. This weekend Ian Cook, a close friend of Hughes, said he took part in the fishing expeditions, but declined to comment further. Cook, an art dealer who lives in Exeter, was entrusted by Hughes with the task of scattering his ashes on Dartmoor. Laureate poems were not his forte, but it is understood that Hughes would read poetry to Prince William and Prince Harry on his visits to Highgrove. In a private letter to Tony Blair, his widow wrote that Hughes believed there was a strong mystical link between the monarch and poet laureate. Further clues to Hughes's role are revealed in hitherto unseen letters lodged at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Feinstein said there were also many letters from Hughes to the Queen Mother. There are striking parallels between aspects of their private lives. Hughes was pilloried for the death of his first wife, Sylvia Plath, who descended into mental collapse before gassing herself. Elizabeth Sigmund was a friend both of Plath, who dedicated The Bell Jar to her, and Hughes, who asked her and her then husband to move into his Devon home after Plath's death, because it carried too many painful associations for him to remain there. She said she could understand the strength of the bond that linked Hughes to Charles. "Both experienced difficult marriages to beautiful, very talented women who in the end they could not be happy with. I think this experience would inevitably bring them close together." The prince has learnt to endure mockery for his spiritual curiosity. He was ridiculed for his four-day journey into the Kalahari with van der Post, who was blamed for supposedly teaching him how to talk to his plants. Hughes's reputation has also been questioned since his death. Former lovers, including Emma Tennant, the novelist, have come forward to destroy the myth that he lived for years as a saintly recluse after the suicides of Plath and his common-law wife Assia Wevill, who also killed their four-year-old daughter. ***END ARTICLE*** -- banana Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum. **FREE RARE BOOK SEARCH: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** Explore Our Archive: <http://a-albionic.com/a-albionic.html> <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
