Emily Hale was T.S. Eliot's inspiration, but she never intended to be his muse.

Big thanks to @Commonwealmag, @PrincetonRBSC, & Frances Dickey @IntlTSEliotSoc for their help in putting this article together.

@GrantAKaplan @Religions_MDPI Thank you!

[Emily King @BSEliot2]

What did Simone Weil share in common with the Jansenist Antoine Arnauld?

I'm happy to share my first academic publication comparing Weil to a lesser known early modern figure for a special issue for @Religions_MDPI on the Eucharist.

[Emily King @BSEliot2]

@Religions_MDPI My article explores the connection between Arnauld's recommendation to abstain from the Eucharist with Weil's idea of waiting, finding that both thinkers fail to consider to category of starvation—which carries a tragic layer in Weil's case.

[Emily King @BSEliot2]

@Religions_MDPI In 1643, Arnauld wrote: “The Devil often bears the wicked to Holy Communion to cause them to commit sacrilege.” Centuries later, Weil would write: “I must be the prey of a demon of an unheard of variety, a demon who drives one to seek nourishment in the spectacle of the Mass.”

I'm excited to share this essay by @dieworkwear, which I commissioned while working for @the_point_mag last summer.

@bonnie_nicholss My vote is for Waiting for God - but if you're up to be disorientated (and misled), Gravity and Grace was my intro and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything!

@GriffinOleynick @commonwealmag @AvilaCosnahan So nice to see everyone!

[Emily King @BSEliot2]

What does it mean to write against the backdrop of collapse—amid an ambiance of utter futility?

@ThomasSojer, @mac_lof, @JoannaZofia, Gwen Dupré and I co-wrote an article for @UniGraz's journal LIMINA to imagine the future of theology.

This was a really special talk by Prof. Alex Nemerov... in and through the image of a circle in the thought of Simone Weil and the paintings of Giotto. I'm honored to have played a small role in it by moderating.

Check it out here: https://t.co/OpQFg0cBO5.

Really looking forward to this talk from Prof. Nemerov, who has been a generous interlocutor and source of support ever since he advised my undergraduate thesis on Simone Weil and T.S. Eliot.
