Thanks for your comment. A writing worthy of a larger audience I think.

Indeed—I very much agree!

Thank you for making this available.

Junger's prognosis seems... dim.

Dim, but also hopeful.

"I perceived your splendor, Lord, from afar,

I would like to link heart to it in advance,

And, Sublime Creator, I would so much like

To give you the gift of my negligible life."

A hymn he refers to regarding the apocalyptic dangers of technology.

I think from the Hervier interview, I did not find the hymn itself, but perhaps in the original language it could be searched. I can look for it.
