Analysis of C. S. Lewis Enlightened
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Psalm 37 Hits C. S. Lewis (Tolkien Helping…)
Once stern in his studies
And godless to boot
The brain his odd temple
And straining the route
To peace or discovery
To friendship of Faith.
But broken one season
When God took first place.
When Christ brought Atonement
When rest came from waiting
And wrath was forsook.
When loneliness vanished.
And wishes emboldened.
When answers just jumped out
From God’s Holy Book.
