A Photograph on a Jazz Album Cover titled The Death of Simone Weil
Considered by Nobel laureate André Gide and others to be “the most truly spiritual writer” of the 20th century, Simone Weil would no doubt be confounded by all the fuss. “I never read the story of the barren fig tree without trembling,” she confessed in a letter to her friend and mentor Father Joseph-Marie Perrin in 1942. “I think that is a portrait of me.”
A collection of Simone Weil references with a short biographical piece written by Susan Hanson, her favorite poem/prayer by George Herbert. Another biographical piece by John Marson Dunaway is followed by a couple of wonderful quotes by Fr. Edward Oakes and the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus.
