| Quotation | The Navigatio S. Brendani came yesterday from Boston College. I began it this morning, studying it as a Tract on the monastic life-the myth of peregrinatio, the quest for the impossible island, the earthly paradise the ultimate ideal. As a myth it is, however, filled with a deep truth of its own. |
