St. Jerome Bible tips: 1. Psalter, your recreation. 2. Proverbs, your way of life. 3. Ecclesiastes, how to trample the world. 4. Job, learn patient virtue. 5. Gospels, always in hand. 6. Acts+Epistles, be steeped in them. 7. Prophets, commit to memory. 8. Canticles, have no fear.

@s_r_tarnmoor @zermatist I asked him if there was a pdf version that I could get access to. He said that he had already signed a contract with the publisher (or something to that effect), so he can't give it out lol

Just came back from this event. Quite enjoyable, the highlight was meeting a very eccentric elderly lady who participated in McLuhan's Monday Night Seminars and apparently brought McLuhan's percepts into her Near East and biblical archeology studies.

Pound's Theosophical friends, Mead as well as Allen Upward, describe the soul's passage from the earthly to the spiritual realm in just such a way, as a passage through a vortex or "whirl-swirl"
Ur-Caecus@LackOfView

[Ezra] Pound's heavily marked copy of *The New Word* is in the archive of the Humanities Research Center at Austin, Texas. Among the passages he has marked is the following on the "whirl-swirl" - the vortex, or funnel that is reported in many mystic visions of the other world.

Long ago, Anglo-Saxon poets spoke of sinnehte or “eternal night,” an ancient word meaning death or the time before the Sun and Moon came to be. After they became Christian, they used it to mean the void that surrounded the ocean before God created light. (IPA: [ˈsɪnˌneç.tɛ])

It's easy to recognize that literacy was a mistake. But do you have the courage to admit that all of language was a mistake as well?
