and yet i am sorry to lose God...

“Imagine: inside, in the nerves, in the head — that is, these nerves are there in the brain … (damn them!) there are sort of little tails, the little tails of those nerves, and as soon as they begin quivering … that is, you see, I look at something with my eyes and then they begin quivering, those little tails … and when they quiver, then an image appears … it doesn’t appear at once, but an instant, a second, passes … and then something like a moment appears; that is, not a moment — devil take the moment! — but an image; that is, an object, or an action, damn it! That’s why I see and then think, because of those tails, not at all because I’ve got a soul, and that I am some sort of image and likeness. All that is nonsense! Rakitin explained it all to me yesterday, brother, and it simply bowled me over. It’s magnificent, Alyosha, this science! A new man’s arising — that I understand…. And yet I am sorry to lose God!”

The imprisoned Dmitri Karamazov as he tries to make sense of what he has just learned from a visiting academic from Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s, The Brothers Karamazov (1880)

odour of sanctity

odour of sanctity
One of the phenomena taken throughout the Christian era as evidence of sainthood is the odour of sanctity: a pleasant fragrance (most often described as the scent of flowers) detected when a holy a holy person dies. If an individual is described (without irony) as dying in the odour of sanctity, this means that he or she dies a saint. The odour of sanctity is particularly associated with saints whose bodies are reported to remain incorruptable after death.

A murder of ravens haunts the Dreaming:
slow wings flapping bleakly
like shadows or old men stumbling,
battle-birds, dark dwellers in the aftermath.

RATS AND TOILETS


i have been looking into rats and toilets:

"Rats are swimmers and good swimmers at that! Rats live in the sewer. Rats can most definitely make their way up your soil pipe and into your toilet if they so choose. There has been many a frantic call that would come into my office where the client was horrified to find a rat in their toilet bowl! This can be prevented by installing a toilet flap excluder."

on the vice of impurity

The unchaste, then, say that sins contrary to purity are but a small evil. Like "the sow . . . wallowing in the mire" (2Peter 2:22), they are immersed in their own filth, so that they do not see the malice of their actions; and therefore they neither feel nor abhor the stench of their impurities, which excite disgust and horror in all others. Can you, who say that the vice of impurity is but a small evil - can you, I ask, deny that it is a mortal sin? If you deny it, you are a heretic; for as Saint Paul says, "Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God" - 1Corinthians 9-10. It is a mortal sin; it cannot be a small evil. It is more sinful than theft, or detraction, or the violation of the fast. How then can you say that it is not a great evil? Perhaps mortal sin appears to you to be a small evil? Is it a small evil to despise the grace of God, to turn your back on Him, and to lose His friendship, for a transitory, beastly pleasure?

Oh Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
in the howling storm

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy.
And with his dark secret love,
does thy life destroy.

William Blake
