Auden on Liturgy

[arisbe]

It had gone so far that he was muttering about becoming Russian Orthodox. Romanism would be too much of a surrender. He particularly objected to changing the Holy Ghost to Holy Spirit because, he fragilely argued, whiskey is a spirit, too.

Auden may well be a spiritual and literary archetype for me. I lean more Orthodox myself as I mature--I think it's the buddhist and protestant in my background.
