about sentence four and five
i see sleeping lila through phaidros' eyes
he can only see her with his own eyes, vaguely lighted only by the few
predawn rays
that fall through his own hatch....i feel great poetic force (and thank you
so much for
this expression!) . can't we all only see her (and the book and its meaning
and THE meaning) drearily lighted by our subjectivity. But this is the
chance we are given.
phaidros is moved by her familiarity........
Jonathan about the wellknown:
>Things don't have to be unique or "special" to be good.
> Don't we all
>appreciate (and even crave) things that we've enjoyed countless times
> before - the everyday foods served on a thousand kitchen tables, the ten
> thousandth kiss from a loved one?
yes we crave the familiar - but to me, this makes it special and unique !
It's a quality we add, that's why we create familiarity
.........moved to phantasize a happy home scene ( i suppose he is lacking)
of which i adore "should sparkle with excitement at the prospect of a new
day of
sunlight" .
we should do. every day. it's our chance.
