New Book Announcement - The Song of Proclus

Prometheus Trust has released a new compendium of writings from Proclus, titled "The Song of Proclus".  Here is the description from the publisher:

The Song of Proclus - Adapted by Guy Wyndham-Jones - Like A Casting of Light.  This little book presents a number of passages from Proclus arranged in verse form: the effect is both striking and inspiring. The voice is our native instrument of music, whether the vocal or the written word; both, when genuine, are the song of soul, and together they voice the soul’s music.  The numerous offerings in this little book will present you with a flavour of both the nature and scope of the beautiful vision of Proclus, the extraordinary lover of wisdom; and they will illustrate the music of philosophy, to be found within the prose of the philosophers of the Platonic tradition. Together they represent the Song of Proclus; and each piece is a meditation in itself.


This volume is available from the Prometheus Trust (in the U.K.) or from Openingmind Associates (in the U.S.A.).  It is also available on Amazon.  I do not have a copy of the book yet, but will post a review once I explore its contents.  From the description, it sure looks like it will be an inspiring piece!
