    **59. Stained is the purple of thy mouth, O brilliant one, with the white glory of the lips of Adonai.
    60. The foam of the grape is like the storm upon the sea; the ships tremble and shudder; the shipmaster is afraid.
    61. That is thy drunkenness, O holy one, and the winds whirl away the soul of the scribe into the happy haven.
    **

    I love the way my mouth moves (and the physical sensation of it) when I recite v. 59 (and the following verses to a lesser extent). It's like it captures the actual feel of the drunkenness etc.

    That's cool - I feel the same way about verse one of this chapter which is probably my favorite. This reminds me of what has been pointed out to me before, possibly in Jim's "Visions and Voices", in regards to the "The Vision and the Voice", that AC recited his visions to Victor Neuburg and that when reading them aloud a rhythm can be detected much of the time that gives an added perspective to the text.

    From reading how AC received the Holy Books it isn't clear if they were recited out loud and then written at the same time (at least not that I've seen), but sometimes it sure seems like it. Or at least he was able to capture that feel.

    They were written outright, fast-paced writing for most of them (including 65 & 7).

    My understanding of his account of the reception of LXV et al is that there was no dictation involved. He wrote it down simultaneously with its composition (by his superconsciousness).

    PS - V. 1 is one my favorites, if not my favorite, too.
