"I'm rereading under the Herbert Jordan translation (OU Press, 2008), which uses a principle of one line of English for each line of Greek. Each line is then fairly loose, keeping an iambic pentameter where possible. The text is immediate and immersive so far. I plan to read a book a day." Aug 27, 2025 09:26AM

“This universal, which is at one and the same time the true and the good, cannot be honored as the true—we cannot enter into intimate union with it, discover its traces, and yield ourselves to its mighty sway—unless we recognize it and serve it equally as the good.”
A. G. Sertillanges O.P., The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods
