(I always loved that line)

You may be on to something.

Perhaps I am reading my own meaning into the line. I see it as an amalgam of "cast the first stone", guilt, cowardice and meaningless token opposition. Having said that I am reminded of the joke "Oh Mother!" No I don't know the poet, much less than the Christ, but I found the phrase striking and resonant.

My comment on Blessed Bock being almost there, if I recollect it correctly, related to the homeopathy principle embedded in holy water and presumably being eventually capable of being applied to beer. There are other examples of the pressing into convenient service of the concept of infinity in Roman Catholicism.

Glad you hit my site.

I have just linked to your site. I'll get back to you shortly.

In the meantime can you explain how

“I heard him read his own line “casting the stones of silence”

and then say that,

“Blessed Bock seems to be already half way there”

Was Christ in your words. Did you not understand what the poet gave you?

Do you understand Christ? Do you know what stones are? Do you know what silence is?

Was that not precisely what Christ was saying.

“Let he who is without sin cast the first….”

In short Benny, Christ said all stones are silent because they are not cast.

Cast no more stones. Try to understand your Christ or at least your poet.

You alreay know it.

"Let he who has the first………"

I heard him read his own line "casting the stones of silence" the other night on the radio. Could you find a pithier expression of Burke's axiom on the triumph of evil?

Magic.
