| Quotation | Finished first reading of the Navigatio Brendani this morning. Interesting monastic vocabulary. The geography-a liturgical mandala? I have to check back on the significance of directions. North is liturgical hell here too, and the Promised Land is West (except that in reference to the Paradise of the Birds it is east (liturgical)). Two traditions perhaps. |
