Quote for the Day

How is it that the more able man becomes to manipulate the world to his advantage, the less he can perceive any meaning in it? - Owen Barfield, quoted by Malcolm Guite in Faith, Hope and Poetry, 76

There is, I suspect, an interaction with the Incarnation here. For God, who in Christ masters life and death, came amongst us in weakness, something which Paul especially unpacks in his two letters to the Corinthians.
