I hope your Latin students enjoy it! I miss being a Latin student. *sigh*

I’ve had it for a very long time, but it is such a slender and short volume that it got lost between all my other big and massive books. Anyway, it was such a delight to read the bits of Latin in it (all of which Moynihan put in the endnotes) that I thought I would look to see if the complete edition of the letters was ever published. Hence, I came across your nifty story. If you don’t mind, I will share it with my Latin class. Yes, I am one of that breed, and, I hope, one of the incredible ones!

Amen to that! I love the coming together of people from different backgrounds. And like you said, IN LATIN!

There IS no normal one.

Isn’t it? I love C.S. Lewis!

It is lovely. I wish I were fluent in a language that I could actually, you know, speak to people; but I’ve never ever regretted doing Latin in school.

I am pretty rusty myself–I wish I’d kept up with it better! I always intend to keep up with Latin, because I truly absolutely love it, and I just never make the time to really do it.

It’s pretty easy to study, honestly. I had a great teacher in high school, but I got along pretty well in middle school too just using the textbooks (I had Latin teachers but they weren’t very good). And it’s wonderfully useful as well as fun.

I’m glad it made you smile. It pleases me so much because, I guess, I find it moving when people of completely different origins and of different faiths can love and respect each other so much. IN LATIN.
