The Seven Strings of the Lyre, by George Sand, and Craigellachie 13yo - Part 2
Michael and Ethan discuss The Seven Strings of the Lyre, by George Sand (also known as A Woman’s Version of the Faust Legend), while drinking Craigellachie 13yo Speyside Single Malt..
In this episode:
Strong start claiming to do a chiasmus but APPARENTLY, ACTUALLY doing an Antimetabole.
A lot of sports talk from two guys who know nothing about sports
Inappropriately asserted man mid-life crises; unenthusiastic Masters theses
We gotta talk about the lyre, and the seven strings thereof
Alastor; or, the Spirit of Solitude, by Percy Bysshe Shelley (in case you also couldn’t/can’t help yourself)
The Divided Soul, by Heidi White (it’s literary criticism, but also life criticism)
Worry about what the Capital T “Truth“ is
We do finally talk about the Lyre and its strings
Man has to bottom out somewhere
Shakespeare references Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Sand references Shakespeare
Rockstar gnosticism
