Power and the Holy in the Age of the Investiture Conflict

[PatrickG]

Probably (to my mind) one of the greatest scholars of his day and one of the greatest authors ever to live. The Silmarillion is majestic as well. By the by, a devout Catholic.

That looks good. I'm slowly working my way through the Silmarillion.  I think I'll have to reread LOTR after I finish.

Ooh, I haven't done much reading outside the Hobbit, LOTR, and the Silmarillion in years.  I think I have to get back to it!

Maryslittlegarden, how do you find the Silmarillion?  I think most people just quit but it really is fantastic.  Yeah, a lot of history and names, but he was such a gifted storyteller and the tales are so great.  What an imagination!

"Yet the making of things is in my heart from my own making by thee; and the child of little understanding that makes a play of the deeds of his father may do so without thought of mockery, but because he is the son of his father." (ch. 2)

and

"She spoke no word; but being filled with love Elwë came to her and took her hand, and straightway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word." (ch. 4)

I started the Sillmarin a few years back and loved it.  I got too busy reading other stuff (I was in  the process of becoming Catholic at the time.)  I've started it up again and still think it's fantastic.

I haven't used it yet. I did use the Dutch ones before and for conversation it's an excellent program.  I recommend it 100%. I found it more interesting than Rosetta Stone. It's so easy just play them in your car or when you exercise.

Partly in honor of what happened today in 1776, I've started reading the Abbe Barruel's Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism.

I started doing that but it became complicated after lesson 10 so I gave up.
