Old English Prayer (From a Sarum primer of 1558)
God be in my head,
and in my understanding;
God be in mine eyes,
and in my looking;
God be in my mouth,
and in my speaking;
God be in my heart,
and in my thinking;
God be at mine end,
and at my departing.
God be in my head,
and in my understanding;
God be in mine eyes,
and in my looking;
God be in my mouth,
and in my speaking;
God be in my heart,
and in my thinking;
God be at mine end,
and at my departing.

You're cool. It's relieving for me to see a verbose thinker such as yourself as a fellow member. Not only are you cool, but you've got a touch of danger hanging just unseen like a light morning mist that veils an island.
If I had more time to leave a comment, I would. I'll just second Pastura in saying that Franny and Zooey is definitely an amazing work, my favorite out of all of the "Glass Saga" books he did. Boiled down to its simplest plot points, it could be seen as a sequel to Catcher, hoping to answer the question of "what happens next?" But really, it's much more than that. The style in which this book has been written was such a powerful thing to me in high school that to this day, I have to struggle with myself to not write this way. Of course, I won't spoil these things for you. But with your comments on Goethe, I think that if you get around to reading Franny and Zooey, we could have quite a conversation.
This is the shortest comment you will ever get from me. That's not a promise, or even a threat. It's more like a statement of fact.
Adam!
