My Memory Theatre for the 9 Muses
Here's the "diagram" for my 9 Muses Memory Theatre.
It's the Lehrkind Mansion
I walk up the steps and see Calliope sitting in a lounge chair so that she is comfortable enough to write an epic poem because, one needs to be comfortable to sit for that long.
I walk inside and bypass the entryway, heading clockwise into a parlor of sorts (though in the Lehrkind Mansion there are just a lot of rooms for whatever it seems...) where I see Clio wearing a robe and cap like students at graduation, or teachers from "back in the day", (which was a Thursday right?) in illo tempore, though the great time might not have been so great if students were getting whacked with rulers and such. Where she yells at me for forgetting everything and that history (His Story) is important and I should pay more attention to it.
When I tire of being yelled at I walk away from this argument knowing that there is a kernel of truth in those words but holding fast to my ignorance out of spite since the idea of history was so agressively thrust at me, I walk to the window and, uniquely, (right...) imagine Urania looking through a telescope.
Making a mental note to go see what kind of telescope she is using as it looks surprisingly like mine, I then head into the next room where Talia is doing a comedy skit.
Dispising stand up comedians for their general lack of empathy, (having been attacked visciously by one while sitting in the audience once) I head to the next room where Euterpe is singing to Terpsichore who is gaily dancing to the music.
Not being much of a dancer,or at least not in the mood, I move on to the next room which I find to embody "the mood" and see Erato on a stripper pole giving me a dreadful craving for a Johnny Walker Red and soda so I move on.
Escaping the bacchanal of the prior few rooms I find a sombering scene: Melpomeme dead on the floor "What a tragedy!"
Continuing on to the entry room that I skipped earlier to try and escape this madhouse I find Polyhymnia singing me hymns and decicively make a break for it under the firm belief that the house I've just left is a looney bin.
My "Room"
Since I live in a studio apartment, my room is the entire place. I figure I'll just give the schematic for the apartment instead of my "bedroom" corner.
