ASSIGNMENT FOR TODAY - will return later today
(blackout and unstable internet connection yesterday) Side note: On page 168, in the last paragraph, I found his last thought to be strongly connected with the beginning of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Pascal wrote: and sweeter yet was the happiness of my parents who realized that after all I had not really gone astray, but had sought and attained a goal from the deep worn groove of peasant drudgery. Whereas the Divine Comedy starts with: Halfway along our journey to life’s end I found myself astray in a dark wood, Since the right way was nowhere to be found.” DAVID |
