Or, conversely, are images and metaphors a cheat, deceiving us into the belief that there’s an easy way around working carefully and patiently to reason out the truth? (See this post on George Herbert, in which it was all I could do not to include at least twenty poems, or this one on Gerard Manley Hopkins, or any of the Sunday Morning Poems I’ve posted.) It would be very hard for me to have a spiritual life without poetry-and why should I have to? Yet if all God-talk is theology, what are the implications of having that theology take poetic form? Some time ago I read a book arguing that poetry in the Early Modern period handled the realities of conversion more effectively and accurately than did prose theological treatises. Readers of this blog (and people who know me) will be aware that devotional poetry is close to my heart. ![]() All of the posts can still also be found here.

The film, as the first book of the series, is humorous, if also particularly fantastical, with its talking animals and overt, obviously intentional anachronisms. The film, as most American males who have grown up since then know, is a playful depiction of King Arthur’s earliest days as the squire “Wart,” who lives with his foster-father Sir Ector and a bullying foster-brother Sir Kay, blissfully unaware of his status as the son of the last king of Britain, Uther Pendragon. One of the few Disney movies clearly targeting young boys is the 1963 The Sword in the Stone, based on the five-part series The Once and Future King by Terence Hanbury White. It is also one of the more humble and respectful modern literary interpretations of medieval culture, as well as a source of poignant reflections on subjects as diverse as political and social mores, love, and religious faith… White’s The Once and Future King is far more than a tale for children. ![]() ![]() ![]() One can feel the love that the author has for these flawed characters, the way she wants the reader to understand how they came to be in these situations.
