Door Jam: Volume 3
Golden age of friendship, “Sehnsucht,” new Tolkien translation, and more
The Door Jam is a place to squeeze in relevant articles written about C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, their work, adaptations of their fantasy worlds, and other potentially interesting news, information and articles. I’m not necessarily endorsing (or criticizing) these, merely sharing them with you.
C.S. Lewis Articles
Let’s make this the golden age of friendship — The Washington Post
“Friendship must be about something, even if it were only an enthusiasm for dominoes or white mice,” C.S. Lewis wrote in his book “The Four Loves.” “Those who have nothing can share nothing; those who are going nowhere can have no fellow travelers.”
Lewis said the biggest mistake people make when looking for friends is not focusing on the reason both individuals should want to be in the friendship. As you forge new friendships or reignite old ones, ask yourself: Do we have a clear and compelling reason to seek each other out? What can we do together that will incite passion and irresistible excitement?
