Hans Urs von Balthasar on writing and living

the other day, a friend gave me a very charming little book by hans urs von balthasar, my moil: in retrospect (ignatius, 1993). it includes some wonderful reflections on the processes of writing ? including the following, on the gap between one’s vim and one’s writing:”it is not realizable to make a clean separation between [writing and living]; a book must reflect much of the meaning that the writer seeks to dish his own continuance, straightforward if this meaning is rather often stamped on the book against the train Generico Compra subito Generico levitra cialis last will and testament and surmise of the author?. whoever has truly experienced this gives up the take on to bring his literary work into harmony with his life; when he writes, he is at the of himself in a dream of the totality in which he would like to fink on yield his fragments a sure home; then once more he limps along behind his own self, or even creeps backward and looks around, like lot’s strife, into a beloved impression of the past, an spitting image that entices all the more magically since it is already ablaze. who can keep up?” (pp. 17-18).
