Closes

A note from Richard

V2Melody will close at midnight on 20 January 2028

This site has been a retirement project in musical poetry: poems chosen with care and set to music, offered freely for as long as it felt right to keep the garden open.

The work no longer holds the place it once did in my life. I have gone as far with it as I wish to go. Like a sand mandala, it was made to be completed and then released. I am not attached to its permanence, and I do not believe any of it needs to last beyond the time it was given.

I want a simpler life, without the hassle of being online. The work of maintaining a server, the monitoring, and the residual obligations that come with keeping a site alive no longer fit the life I want.

From 4 November 2026 I will not be adding new poems or musical poems to the site.

Until midnight on 20 January 2028, Spanish time, everything remains available exactly as it is. That is when my VPS server contract comes to an end, and it will not be renewed. After that, the server will be switched off and the site will disappear.

Thank you to anyone who found a poem, a track, or a quiet moment here.

The pleasure was in the making.

Richard

The Codification of Canon Law

What happened

In 1158, the codification of canon law began, standardizing legal practices within the Catholic Church. This development had significant implications for the governance of the Church and its relationship with secular authorities. The codification process influenced the legal landscape of medieval Europe.

Literary impact

The standardization of canon law influenced writers and poets who engaged with themes of justice, morality, and the relationship between church and state. This legal framework provided a backdrop for literary explorations of ethical dilemmas and societal norms.
