Last December during finals while I wrote papers somewhat deliriously, I was deeply (and repeatedly) entertained by this line of Simone Weil’s, from an essay in the collection Intimations of Christianity Among the Ancient Greeks:
“Many things in mythology are clarified if one admits the assumption that all that relates to the moon, to horns (because they are images of the moon) and to vegetable sap symbolizes the Word.”
Long live your cryptic, unqualifiedly absolute statements, Simone Weil.
