We prefer to leave the Q & A forum for short questions like your orginal post, and do any prolonged conversations in the other forums here on the Wardrobe. Please consider registering and starting a thread to discuss
Sehnsucht, which Lewis called
Joy. We've had threads on it before, but not lately, I think. Always a good topic.
Plus, if your friend is interested, we have some musicians here who may find common ground with him in a discussion of the specific feeling of music as Joy.
Oh, and Novalis? Personally I find him quite tedious. I doubt I ever would have read anything of his if not for the Lewis connection.
