Any favorite authors or poets that may or may not have influenced your writing?
M: I’m really enjoying G.K Chesterton at the moment, still.
I actually thought of him the first time I heard your record, because the way in which he talks about ‘exhortation’ between friends in Orthodoxy.
M: Well, I really want to get into Orthodoxy but right now I want to read these three chapters my brother recommended from Everlasting Man. Because I love classical History and I love medieval History, and have studied it a bit he kind of goes through that stuff, and then comes through to the more modern era [....]
Did you listen to them yet? They are great. Listen to the Cave.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have listened to "The Cave", after discovering part of the song comes almost word for word from Chesterton's book Saint Francis of Assisi. I enjoyed the song greatly. :-)
