| Quotation | I finally have a chance to write you and tell you that I am sending the Snell book back - long after I had promised to do so. It is indeed an important book, and I regret that it is so far from my present context that Iwas unable to do it full justice. It is so difficult to follow all the avenues that open out before one, and I must of necessity leave the vistas of Greek thought somewhat misty, to my regret. I have no other choice, since my limited time for reading and study is now almost all taken up with scripture and mysticism and monastic history and whatnot - things necessary for myself and the novices. So I did not master all of Snell |
