Thank you for this, Farasha. Please don’t take it as a criticism, but the scholar in me often finds himself wondering about the name of the poem, or addressee of the letter, quoted. For example, to whom DHL was writing in the striking letter indicated by footnote 44? Beyond that, this fine essay reads as if it were a culmination of sorts, clarifying much about DHL and your entire series. It was worth the several weeks’ wait -- and the three sittings it took to read it! No doubt, I'll have further questions/remarks but that's enough for the moment.
A tour de force. Thank you Farasha. On a personal level, quite serendipitous too.. Demonic voices have been needling me, trying to provoke a conflict between my reverence for Christ and my attraction for the old gods. 'It's either him or them,' they say. It's salutary then to be brought back to that Great Unity that stands at the white hot core of reality, behind and above and beyond all levels of manifestation, the Herakleitian fire, the God behind the gods, the 'fons et origo' of all Divine beings and expressions. No-one did this better Lawrence. Your 'take' on him really brings this aspect of his work and mission to life.
