В связи с лекцией, в следующий понедельник, о Толстом . Он живая и трагическая иллюстрация "отпадения" как неблагодарения … Его искусство было насквозь пронизано благодарением. Икогдаонперестал "благодарить" (сутьгордыни), онослеп.
Изписьма C.S.Lewis'a: "…it being the rule of the universe that others can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves and one can paddle every canoe except one's own. That is why Christ's suffering for us is not a mere theological dodge but the supreme case of the law that governs the whole world; and when they mocked him by saying "He saved others, himself he cannot save," they were really uttering, little as they knew it, the ultimate law of the spiritual world" (The letters of C.S. Lewis to Arthur Graves. "They Stand Together", ed. Walther Hooper, Macmilbn, 1979, p.514) .
