'For a Deeper Communion'
Korte
film over Het Laatste Avondmaal. Gefilmd op locatie in 2021 in de
woonkamer op de eerste verdieping van een verborgen appartement. De
huidige bewoner woont hier sinds 1976. Hij wil hier voor altijd blijven
wonen. De titel werd ontleend aan 'East Coker' van T.S. Eliot. De citaten zijn uit Marcus 24:22-26. De film is opgedragen aan Henk van der Ploeg (1949).
22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.Aan T.S. Eliot's 'East Coker' ontleende ik 'For a Deeper Communion', de titel van de film. 'East Coker' is het tweede gedicht uit T.S. Eliot's bundel 'Four Quartets'. Voor een goed begrip is het natuurlijk beter om het hele, vrij lange gedicht te lezen, maar voor de helderheid citeer ik hier de betreffende laatste strofes van het geniale gedicht:
There is a time for the evening under starlight,
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
A time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album).
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
