Hieron Grammaton, Part III*
The Old Man and the Light
In memory of
Ernest Hemingway,
who died on this date
in 1961, a story
in three parts:
I — Eye of Raven
Fermata
II — Psyche and Symbol
Leonard Baskin, detail of
cover for Jung’s
Psyche and Symbol
III — Raven Steals the Light
Detail from the story
“Raven Steals the Light”
Midrash:
“To the earnestness of death belongs precisely that capacity for awakening, that resonance of a profound mockery which, detached from the thought of the eternal, is an empty and often brash jest, but together with the thought of the eternal is just what it should be….” —Kierkegaard
* For Hieron Grammaton, Parts I and II, see the five Log24 entries from 6:29 PM Tuesday, June 23, to 1:00 AM Sunday, June 28.

The death of the character Mary O’Brien in the 2002 film “Equilibrium,” broadcast in the U.S.A. Saturday evening, paralleled the reported death of Iran’s Neda Soltan on the same day (June 20). The reported last words of Soltan would also have been fitting for O’Brien. (Any such resemblance between a fictional character and a real person is, of course, purely coincidental.)
