Gold Lame Speedo and the Basic Writings of Josiah Royce That's pronounced "lam-ay", not "lame". But either pronunciation would apply I guess, if it's your intent to convey the inner meaning, I mean.
I will probably not grace you with the sight of me in my speedo, but I will inflict my volume of Royce upon you. I feel especially inspired this morn by my dialogue with Ham and Marsha's posted poem. Both made a deep imprint upon two different aspects of my thought. Little moments of grace, inflicted by others when you need them the most- that's what community is all about. "When I review this whole process, I strongly feel that my deepest motives and problems have centered about the idea of the Community, although this idea has only come gradually to my clear consciousness. This was what I was intensely feeling, in the days when my sisters and I looked across the Sacramento Valley, and wondered about the great world beyond our mountains. This was what I failed to understand when my mates taught me those instructive lessons in San Francisco. This was that which i tried to understand when I went to Germany. I have been unpractical,-- always socially ineffective as regards genuine "team play," ignorant of politics, an ineffective member of committees, and a poor helper of concrete social enterprises. Meanwhile I have always been, as in my childhood, a good deal of a nonconformist, and disposed to a certain rebellion. So much of the spirit that opposes the community I have and have always had in me, simply, elementally, deeply. Over against this natural ineffectiveness in serving the community, and over against this rebellion, there has always stood the interest which has taught me what I nowadays try to express by teaching that we are saved through the community." Professor Royce, Walton Hotel, Philadelphia December 29, 1915 Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
