This is a truly wonderful lecture! Returning to it just for enjoyment, after once again returning to Traherne. Professor Fiddes does a great job of bringing out both the commonalities and differences between Lewis and Traherne on desire.

Traherne is the mystic for me. This video is a beautiful exposition of the relationship of the thoughts of Wordsworth, C.S Lewis and Traherne. But for me Traherne is the greatest of these.
