I appreciated your reading, Rick. I was on the fence about picking this book up, but you helped make up my mind.

Great book Bought it when I went to Asheville Love it , he’s a incredible writer / storyteller

His father could not carve angels good enough to be sold for tombstones. His frustrations in his artistic ability, caused him to purchase an angel carved by someone else, and he put that angel outside the door of his shop to remind him that his artistic talent as a stone sculptor was only of adequate artistic ability.

Thx Rick. You gave me insight into what I am finding an almost unbearable number of repetition. It was recommended to me by someone who I admire. I’m a Dostoyevsky fan and by far Thomas Wolfe has a poetic style that is like reading a novel by John Keats, if he’d lived to write one. Last night I decided to give up but not tell my friend 😅. I didn’t think life was long enough to be cycling. And the family kind of bores me. But your review made me realize that I can set it aside and come back for the experience. I love your Christian remarks about the Holy Spirit. Are you a writer?

Hard to beat the works of past masters. Reading old literature is definitely a great way to immerse yourself into a different world. Another good episode, Rick!

That’s awesome!

Does anyone know of a musical rendering of this poem for choir? I remember in my last year of college, in 1988, I heard the choir sing this at the beginning of something we had to go to on the first day of school. The words were in the program and the music and words just blew me away. I have since tried to find the music and I just can't find it. It may have been composed by someone at the school or something but I don't know.

A stone tablet (Ten Commandments), a leaf, the pages of the 1611 Authorised Bible are known as leaves. Jesus said that he is the door.
