I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
"If you mean by 'matter' what I mean by spirit, then your matter is my spirit, and God is material; but if you mean by 'matter' no more than what is usually meant by it, then my spirit is
NOT your matter, and God is spirit"
-- Edgar Allen Poe writing in Eureka Magazine
THAT MAN ,,, could ramble
I'm reading some of his old letters and second hand accounts of his life in a great biography by Edward Wagenknecht
If you've ever had even a passing interest in Poe I can't recommend his book enough,
You should read samples of his literary / artistic criticisms .... he'd make people cry today (and gert sued a lot) I think.....
(actually I'm spot reading it for the 5th time I think)
