I’m Eric, a young poet who seems to have been swept away in the
Romantic Spirit of Beethoven’s Symphonies, struck by the
philosophies of Plato & the Poets’ lyrics, burned for love like the
martyrs of Rome, and can see an honest beauty in love & faith. This
blog is dedicated to my passions in Poetry, Literature, History,
Philosophy, and Music, along with exploring the beauty and truth in
the Christian faith– how it rebels and transcends the ways of the
world and burns it ablaze; preaches it’s the Heart that counts,
sings how Love endures, and that Truth is a beautiful Bride &
hypocrisy a sin. It reveals that love is self-less, death is no end,
and that there’s no greater love than to lay down your life for your
friends. • Faith & Philosophy • History (esp. 19th cen.-WWI) •

“Reason directs those who are truly pious and philosophical to
honour and love only what is true, declining to follow traditional
opinions, if these be worthless.” -St. Justin Martyr
