On Something


Lu par Ray Clare

(4.3 stars; 3 reviews)

“Now that story is a symbol, and tells the truth. We see some one thing in this world, and suddenly it becomes particular and sacramental; a woman and a child, a man at evening, a troop of soldiers; we hear notes of music, we smell the smell that went with a passed time, or we discover after the long night a shaft of light upon the tops of the hills at morning: there is a resurrection, and we are refreshed and renewed.”
- Hilaire Belloc (6 hr 38 min)

A Lost Art


(4 stars)

The art of the essayist is lost. Belloc might be it's last great practitioner. Thank you Mr Clare for recording these treasures.
