[Dialogue] Need a quote

Sun Oct 26 19:00:31 EDT 2008

When I took RSI in 1962 or 1963 Joe Matthews and David McClesky were the teaching team. The image was part of the Church Lecture. The DH Lawrence poem below was already part of the God Lecture. There probably was a connection.

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.

Did JWM or someone make it up for the church lecture?

That fine wind line is from D.H. Lawrence's Song of a Man Who Has Come Through.  I don't believe it has the wedge blade image in it.
