When Lewis accepted Christ ‘elite’ God-haters turned against him and did all in their considerable power to make him as miserable as they were.
Three people die on the same day: Aldous Huxley, John F. Kennedy, and C. S. Lewis. Very different lives, concluding in very different ways.
Is mistletoe considered an assault tool now?

Thank you for posting this excellent article.
Here is a poem by Lewis that is at the link. It is beautiful.
Lewis wrote a poem entitled “What the Bird Said Early in the Year,” which not coincidentally is set in Addison’s Walk, and has to do with a spell becoming undone.
I heard in Addison’s Walk a bird sing clear:
This year the summer will come true. This year. This year.
Winds will not strip the blossom from the apple trees
This year, nor want of rain destroy the peas.
This year time’s nature will no more defeat you,
Nor all the promised moments in their passing cheat you.
This time they will not lead you round and back
To Autumn, one year older, by the well-worn track.
This year, this year, as all these flowers foretell,
We shall escape the circle and undo the spell.
Often deceived, yet open once again your heart,
Quick, quick, quick, quick!—the gates are drawn apart.
“The Screwtape Letters” is brilliant. I listen to an audiobook read by John Cleese...I know he is a libtard, but...his voice is quite well suited to the book.
