[Any one of us
might die tonight; none
knoweth when his soul might be required.
And when I expire, should any glance into my drawers, they
shall find
many upon many
unfinished thoughts and fragments.
Here, just a sample.
Should I survive, I might flesh it out.]
Chesterton’s “The Wrong Shape”; but this I shall defend:
the wisdom of the Yin-Yang symbol -- that dot of white within the swirling black tadpole; that
patch of black, within its mirror counterpart….
The Ball and the Cross -- each needs the other. The Cross, said Chesterton, needs the
round earth whereon to stand. And the
great globe needs the cross, …
The honorable atheist, straightforwardly depicted in the autobiography
of CSL.
Yet, more dialectical
in the fiction of GKC.
The atheist in this fantasia, respects -- in oppostion -
that which he so strenuously denies.
Not outlined, but, by duality,
implied -- the theist as well needs the
atheist.
-- I don’t want to say more on these lines, lest I turn into
some fatuous Frenchman flatulating-out bogus profundities; but leave this little seed, to work in
your imaginations ….
