I have made the pilgrammage
to visit Percy’s grave at St. Joseph Abbey. Beautiful
setting. In fact, such an “understated”
setting we had some difficulty even locating his grave. Perfect for Percy. -----Original Message----- Dear Percy-lover-list-servers, I just wanted t0 introduce myself to the list, and
perhaps spark some discussion. My name is Fr. Basil Burns, O.S.B., and I
am a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Dallas. Dr.
Percy is, quite literally, "buried in my backyard." I am a monk
of St. Joseph Abbey in Covington where he used to take retreats, though I
entered the monastery too late to ever know him personally. I know his
wife, and am friends with his grandson, John Walker. I spent a year
living with the family of Dr. Russell Kirk, the critic and historian, and he
always spoke very highly of Dr. Percy. I do not know whether or not this project will be
approved by the powers that be -- but it's the best idea that I have come up
with so far. I have taken several language theory classes in anticipation
of the possible project, and will wait to see what Providence unfolds. In
any case, I wanted to offer a cordial "hello" and see if anyone had
any thoughts. Many blessings to you all. Fr. Basil Burns, O.S.B. Monk of St. Josephy Abbey Covington, LA |
