Our Hidden Galaxette
Step into the pages of this profound tome, where hymns of awe-inspiring devotion to "nobler geometries" coalesce with impassioned laments against the hollow emptiness of modern society. Heartfelt letters are penned within these verses to kindred souls caught in the constant whirlwind of madness. At the same time, sad reflections reveal the macabre sight of lichens feasting upon regal purple robes. In this lyrical sanctuary, the paths of Teilhard de Chardin and Saint Genet intertwine, their encounter defying conventional understanding. While embracing Genet as the advocate of the devil's domain, Chardin yearns to become his disciple, forging an unconventional bond in the realm of Christian literature. Here, the grandiose pronouncements of Blay are absent, as are the mystical raptures of St. John of the Cross and the pastoral odes of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Instead, a quivering lyricism, wholly unique, pulses through the pages, inviting you to immerse yourself in an unparalleled spiritual experience.
