[Dialogue] wedgeblade in Apple ad

[Carlos R. Zervigon]

The Song of a Man Who Has Come Through 

D.H. Lawrence 1885 - 1930

Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me!
A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time.
If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it carry me!
If only I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a winged gift!
If only, most lovely of all, I yield myself and am borrowed
By the fine, fine wind that takes its course through the chaos of the world
Like a fine, an exquisite chisel, a wedge-blade inserted;
If only I am keen and hard like the sheer tip of a wedge 
Driven by invisible blows,
The rock will split, we shall come at the wonder, we shall find the
Hesperides.

Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul,
I would be a good fountain, a good well-head,
Would blur no whisper, spoil no expression.

What is the knocking?
What is the knocking at the door in the night?
It is somebody wants to do us harm.

No, no, it is the three strange angels.
Admit them, admit them.2

think is was Bultmann's paper on faith - did not the wedgeblade image emerge
out of the RS-1 poetry - "make me a fine wedge moving into the future" prior
to the God lecture - I don't have the poetry at hand to get the wording
right.

Who knows the name of the theologian who did the paper we studied with the
image of the "no longer and the not yet" as the role of the church?  I'll
like to try to find it in the archives if you know the author's name.  Marge

My recollection says that 1972 indeed was the year of the turn symbol, and a
lot else besides.

I was fresh out of the '72 Academy and was attending one of Joe's "Room E"
gatherings when he laid out exactly what Wiegel referred to in his posting
on this. The memory is still vivid.

The wedgeblade was the central image of the church
lecture in 1964--probably earlier. The turn symbol, as
Jim describes it came along with the turn to the
world--1972?
