“The rabbis have a metaphor for this wrestling with the text: The story of Jacob wrestling the angel in Genesis 32. He struggles, and it is exhausting and tiring, and in the end his hip is injured. It hurts. And he walks away limping. Because when you wrestle with the text, you walk away limping.

And some people have no limp, because they haven’t wrestled. But the ones limping have had an experience with the living God.”

~ Rob Bell

+

Instinct and study; love and hate; / Audacity—reverence. These must mate, / And fuse with Jacob’s mystic heart, / To wrestle with the angel—Art.

Herman Melville (1819-1891)

Gabriel : [as Gabriel falls from God's grace] Father!

If sweet, sweet God loves you so, then I will make you worthy of His love.

It's only in the face of horror that you truly find your nobler selves. And you can be so noble. So, I'll bring you pain, I'll bring you horror, so that you may rise above it. So that those of you who survive this reign of hell on earth will be worthy of God's love.

Constantine (2005) / Archangel Gabriel, Instrument of God, Smiting the Camp of Sennacherib and the Assyrians, Gustav Doré / Christ Displaying His Wounds, Giovanni Antonio Galli

One of the key aspects of Lovecraft's tales that developed as his life as a writer progressed was his ability to present 'cosmic horror' on a panoramic scale. From the skillfully wrought but almost "standard" and localized events of much of his early works there evolved horrors that threatened not just an individual or a small community. With AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, and, THE SHADOW OUT OF TIME, Lovecraft created a world in peril at a titanic scope. As the late Richard Tierney put it so eloquently: in Lovecraft's greatest tales, "The whole earth became a haunted house." Lovecraft several times suggested that he would one day write an "interplanetary tale". Unfortunately he never lived to achieve that promise. His minor tale - written with the very young Kenneth J. Sterling, IN THE WALLS OF ERYX , was written Jan. 1936, only a year before his death. It was the only piece of fiction Lovecraft ever completed in which the events occur on another planet. The illustrations below were the work of Gustav Dore', one of HPL's favorite artists since childhood and reflect the 'panoramic' aspect Lovecraft was striving for in his greatest works. (Exhibit 401)
