Who we are and what we are made of... brilliant by Lewis and your drawing it out again is marvellous. I think it's time for me to read the Narnia stories again.
I just finished rereading Dawn Treader. One of my favorite books in the Narnia series. Eustace is a very interesting character and probably my favorite, probably because of and in spite of his flaws. It's amazing to read these books because I really do wish we had gotten more adventures from Lewis. There's a lot he alluded to that we never got stories for, like how the Lone Islands became part of Narnia and where the other people in the world outside of Narnia came from or the intervening years between Silver Chair and the Last Battle. Still, I'll always treasure these books and always be amazed that many of these books, despite being quite short, often feel much longer than they are. Lewis is quite amazing in that way.
Thank you sir, once again, for your insights! I just finished my reread of Narnia except for the Last Battle and always look forward to your sharing sections with us! Good bless!
Mr. Lewis (and you!) appear to be recalling your Blake, from his passage at the end of "vision of the last judgment": "I assert for myself that I do not behold the outward creation, and that to me it is hindrance and not action. "What!" it will be questioned, "when the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea?" Oh! no, no! I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host, crying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!" I question not my corporeal eye any more than I would question a window concerning a sight. I look through it and not with it."
“In our world," said Eustace, "a star is a huge ball of flaming gas." Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is, but only what it is made of.” Your reading of profound texts like these and then addressing them with us is a privilege. The truth of this passage brought chills. I've been doing a deep dive of all of the visits to your home and I really love the nods to the ever present Arthurian journey you are on whilst making these videos. If you haven't already, I would love to hear passages and your thoughts on the legendary sword Excalibur. Thank you for the lore and wisdom!
How in the World can someone give this a thumbs down?!? Viewers have that right, and more power to them, but Why? Malcolm is such a wonderful person, shining his light into his pipe and thru the rest of us. Cheers Malcolm - 'May the hair on your toes never fall out' - Hobbit Maxim
Was asked just the other day, who would you have narrate your life? Most said Morgan freeman, and a fantastic voice that would be. As for myself, the only name that came to my mind was Malcolm Guite. Would be a wonderful and expressively passionate tale told in the perfect way.
Awesome channel books and solid pipe tobacco reviews, I have yet to get a pipe but when I retire maybe. For now it is cigars . Love this channel . Books, tobacco & pints simply great .
I hadn't made that connection to the Prophets before. Always a pleasure to learn from you, Master Guite. I'd love to know the truth regarding form and essence, the metaphysical dimension behind the measurable accidents of things. The trouble is, it's not as though the physical dimension is irrelevant. After all, the abstract essence of a knife isn't much use for cutting vegetables. But the essence of a thing can't just be it's function, as function is even more external than material. Certainly, a person cannot be reduced to a single function.

Indeed, brilliant! If we are more than what we are made of then why can't stars be more than what they are made of. It's not what stars are made of, it's what they are. Exactly...
Beautiful read another flawless passage. I do have a question are there any modern books that capture the same narnian, hobbit , arthurian legend like spirit ?
discovered this gem of a channel a few days ago and ive been obsessed. this is my new favorite part of the internet, i have ordered myself a copy of LOTR to start reading after seeing your videos on it. thank you for bringing some joy and peace into the chaos of the modern day :)
I had always associated Aslan's table breaking in two with the tearing of the temple veil in two when Christ was crucified. I hadn't thought of the tablets given to Moses.
Always a pleasure, today was a beautiful day, a lovely preview for Autumn, so I sat outside and read and relaxed. It was lovely. Peace ✌🏻 and God Bless 🙏🏻
“Back to the land of silver spoons” sounds awfully like something out of ‘Errantry’ or ‘Smith of Wootton Major’, though perhaps Tolkien would substitute ‘bells’ for ‘spoons’. It would lose something in the substitution.
