• The Pope in
  Plato’s Cave

  Those who find the Pope’s recent remarks (see the previous entry) on a Byzantine emperor lacking in literary depth may consult the writings of William Butler Yeats on Byzantium quoted in Log24 entries of February 14-16, 2003.  Those entries also refer to a modern version of Plato’s cave– the movie theater– and the film “The Recruit.” See also a more recent Log24 discussion of that film:

  

  This supplies a different illustration
  of the previous entry’s conclusion:

  “Nine is a very powerful
  Nordic number.”
