Current Situation
Dear Reader:
The summer is over and I've gotten half way through Lewis' letters. I have about 132 pages to summarise for you and still hope to do so. My part-time Latin teaching position is rather full-time, so we'll see how things go. I am still reading.
Of interest is Lewis' appreciation for Albecht Durer. His two favourites, as of 16 Feb., 1919 (p. 434) are that of St. Jerome and the Prodigal son. He says there are others he would like if Durer hadn't put some nudes in the background "of the most brutal and deliberate ugliness"! He had the above two prints framed. I'll post them here for you.
