QuotationAfter night office, long quiet interval, reading [Andre Marie Jean] Festugière on Plato. And that life of Dom Martène. In a way I admire Saint-Germain-des- Pres and in a way I don't. I admire their scholarship, not their rigidity.
Quotation SourceTurning Toward the World: The Pivotal Years. The Journals of Thomas Merton, Volume 4, 1960-1963.; Edited by Victor A. Kramer. / San Francisco : Harper Collins. 1996, p. 55
