C. S. Lewis, The Myth

The man. The myth.

C. S. Lewis, The Myth

Postby David » March 24th, 2006, 5:50 pm

Here's something people may want to discuss and a question I've pondered of late. The title of this room is C. S. Lewis: the Man, the Myth. I wonder, What is "the myth?" I've often heard this said, so what exactly do we mean by it? What is the myth, what are the myths, we create about C. S. Lewis?

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

“First they came for Abdul Rahman and I spoke out because I was a Muslim. Then they came for the Palestinians and I raised hell because I was a Jew. Then they came for the Iraqis and I protested because I was an American. Then they came for the Muslims and I spoke out because I was a Christian, Then they came for the poor and I spoke out because I was rich. By the time they came for me, I had all the support a man could ask for.”
