Well, precisely -- and in no sense do I think of Greek and Roman studies as being carried out in a secular -- spirit? -- for most of the history of English literature.
Non-Christian ≠ secular! I want Richard Dawkins, I'll read Richard Dawkins. (I won't read Richard Dawkins.)
Best to assume I haven't read anything. Then nobody is disappointed.
I am hardly disappointed. I worry all the time about telling people things they already know.
Well, it's oddly melodic.
I hope that's the same as comprehensible.
That sounds gorgeous. (Is the title a reference to Rilke's "Orpheus, Eurydice, Hermes"?)
Not consciously: I was just bracketing the character with the culture heroes. I did discover and love Rilke in college. This fragment remains one of my favorites.
Your unfinished / transformed work also chimes in a wonderful way with a play I will mention in my Next Post.
I shall check it out!
I think I have not read "Kouros," but I have ordered the book.
Thank you. I hope you will enjoy it. I will also send you things if you want!
