Re: Re: Nileangel
I like that -- and totally agree.  I touched on that in my Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (hope you don't mind the plug)

You are certainly a studious fellow and write a great synopsis, I know something of King Lear now, and that's 100% more than I knew without reading you.....

Another incomparable analysis of one of the great plays of all times.  You are amazing :-)  xoxoxo

Re: Soul_Builder101
Thank you Soul. No, he didn't, because Shakespeare was born almost three and a half centuries after Roger Bacon (in case you're referring to him), the famous authority on Aristotle and a philosopher himself, although there are controversies in some parts of Macbeth which I thought couldn't have been Shakespearean.

While I enjoyed this, the question must be asked....did Roger Bacon write Shakespeare's works?

Re: sam, I just said something like that to Nileangel
" .. in some ways it is more true in the primitive realm!"

Re: Nileangel
In the wake of modernism, we have forgotten and simply shunned many simple principles that we now dub as 'primitive'. These so-called primitives instinctively arrived at solutions as they were more sensitive and one with Nature, which reminds me of Wordsworth's fanous lines: One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can. One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can. by HisGlitteringEye.

Re: BC-A
You have enlivened the talk by the mention of C.S.Lewis. Think one day I'll do separately on your related suggestion of the moral law that governs the universe, and the one that is not subject to change. In fact, this Law, the ancient Hindu seers have called "Eternal", and their focus in their discovery is astounding, corroborated with modern scientific principles.

Re: and my dear elysianfields

You are too kind a soul, and so very appreciative that it touches my heart. As you say that I go on 'lighting', so it is that you, in your comments, invariably and always, go on delighting. I haven't contributed much in the meanwhile, but your encouragement eggs me on and on to do more and better. Thank you so vey much ~ ~Ab

Ah my dear Abanerjee, after returning from a weekend respite, I find your blog here full of some excellent essays.  In this, Picture of Remote... I find I can relate to 'age is unnecessary ' being that I am finding 'age' at every crick and creek of my bones here lately, then why I ask, must we age?  But, in all honesty, I pray to age gracefully.  I was very entertained by your post here and I do find the balance of nature, along with Faith, Hope and Love ~ virtues of victory (I like to consider) bring about such good conversation ~ and yes, bring light to permeate the dark 'round every corner.  Your discussions make me consider and ponder all the more.  Excellent * and now I will catch up on your other posts, here shortly ~ ~El

I think in some ways it is more true in the primitive realm! At best totally defined as you stated! Well done, needed! sam

I think it would be a blessing if more people went back to these so called primitive ways. The magic of nature mixed with the loving emotions of humans, what a world this could be. Nice write

I wonder if the moral law thesis of C.S. Lewis relates to the wisdom of nature in primitive Europe. I guess the early
British concentrated on the nature around them. Similarly to the moral law they believed in the wisdom of nature. The qualities in 1 Corinthians 13:4 support a similarity between the moral law that governs the universe and the wisdom of nature on earth love. BC-A, Top of the Stairs
