Name of the Rose: matters arising
A no doubt conscious anachronism:
"Gott ist ein lauter Nichts, ihn rührt kein Nun noch Hier;" next line in the original: "Je mehr du nach ihm greiffst, je mehr entwind er dir."
I think I understand it, but my German is far from confident: any offers from the students of German mysticism out there?
I find it's from one Angelus Silesius. (Quite irrelevantly, my mind sings it, even more anachronistically, to "The Church's one foundation" as arranged under the title Aurelia by Samuel Wesley. Was the tune an old German one, or Wesley's own?)
