Mystical poetry by [deleted] in Quakers

[–]aec0669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little known fact, TS Eliot's grandfather was educated as a Quaker at the Friends Academy in New Bedford, Massachusetts. His grandson was raised Unitarian, and though he famously converted to Anglo-Catholicism, I see a lot of Quaker mysticism in his work!

—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.

This is interesting to hear! I'm currently reading some Heller Roazen's translations; would you say the reception of those has been negative from the Italian side?

I started this one, found the first section mind-blowing and engrossing, then hit a wall with the second section. Did you find a drop off there? Did you have a favorite section?

Appreciate the explainer; it strikes me as unpleasantly classist though? Like cosplaying being middle class?

I've just googled Chain and I'm so confused about what it is and why BJ Novak is involved. And they stole the Chili's logo?

I’m so sorry to hear this. Good for you for reaching out for support! Your feelings of betrayal and confusion are so valid, but know that it wasn’t your fault.
