Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy: Talk with Franciscans (1965)

NOTE

This is the transcription of two lectures, with the following changes and additions:

1. Commonplace phrases as “you see”, “so to speak” are eliminated. Where the speaker corrects himself within the same sentence, only the corrected version is kept.
2. Additions:
   paragraphs,
   chapters with titles scooped from the text,
   Roman numbers for the four parts of a chapter,
   Arabian numbers for the four parts of the parts of a chapter,
   titles for the stories – which are marked by color – which communicate either a personal or historical event,
   sentences are marked in bold print, which are as a sum of thought and to be kept as taken for themselves,
   indices of contents, names, stories, sentences.

This talk with Franciscans happens to be in heaven, in the fullness of times – the Franciscans representing the presence of all times before God. And look, how eternal truth touches our daily life, our daily dangers!
