| Quotation | I have thought and spoken... with Père Danielou whom, as theologian, I consider my director and who was here over the weekend. I had planned to go over the whole subject of the civitas Christiana but did not formally and expressly do so. But much was said that really covered that subject.... Recommended [Placide] Temples on Bantu philosophy, new novel of J[ulien] Green (we wrote Green a card in the car returning from Loretto), Corbin and the gnostics. Gnostics angry at Yaweh who deceived them. |
