For Weil pain was neither an end in itself nor a means to produce pleasure. In the early part of her life she desired to share the sufferings of others by, for example, living on five francs a day like the unemployed, working in the factory, or fighting in Spain; and later she meditated long on the link between suffering and love. In her own words, to believe in the value of suffering, so long as one makes every (legitimate) effort to escape it. Her conception of what was legitimate in this connection was, it is true, extremely strict. But this did not make her into a gloom-laden dolorist. She was perfectly content to indulge herself in cigarettes, books and trips to Italy. And the witness of her friends and family show her considerable capacity for humour and gaiety. At the same time, she had a strong sense of her own peculiar vocation: 'I haven't in me the energy to undergo pain and to suffer except when an inner necessity drives me that I feel I cannot avoid without betraying myself ... if I were so weak as to retreat before the harshness of the life that awaits me I know that I could then never do anything else'. If Weil imposed an abnormally harsh life upon herself, it was not because she was in love with suffering, but because, she felt, the suffering would enable her to love.

In language that today seems bizarre or even repulsive, the side-wound was addressed as “Heart pierc’d deep,” as “precious Cavity,” as the “Dearest,…Sweetest,…most beloved Side-Hole.” Believers imagined turning to the side wound to drink from it as from a spring, to touch it and kiss it, or even to crawl inside it and live within its warm and welcoming shelter. The side wound was revered as the place out of which the believers had been spiritually born and through which their souls would pass again at the time of their death to enter paradise.
Peter Vogt, from “Honor to the Side": The Adoration of the Side Wound of Jesus in Eighteenth-Century Moravian Piety, 2009. Via.

Quote
Christ was no heroic martyr - Weil had little sympathy for martyrs in general, who she considered too active in seeking their own destruction. Rather Christ was the meeting-point of the divine and the human by being obedient to the laws pertaining to both of them, revealing both the nature of God and the fundamental reality of human nature. God renounced himself in creating the world which was essentially both good and evil and, being pure good, could only come down to earth to become incarnate by undergoing the extremest form of suffering. As for human beings, 'we needs must have a just man to imitate so that the imitation of God does not simply remain an empty phrase; but it is also necessary, so that we may be carried beyond the boundaries of the will, that we should not be able to desire to imitate him. One cannot desire the Cross'. For the Cross was the supreme form of affliction and affliction was, by definition, something which could not be desired.

4, 6, 11, and 15!
4 - what sections of a bookstore do you browse
i poke around the sci-fi section and whatever early american history stuff they have, usually with little success in the latter
6 - what books have you read in the last month
embarrassment okay maybe i lied in my original tags because i got very caught up in my thesis work early this month and didn’t read much beside jstor articles and my own writing. in may so far i’ve read:
- the angel of darkness by caleb carr. this was a christmas present and i had fun but if you’ve read the alienist you’ve read the sequel.
- notes on an execution by danya kukafka
- when breath becomes air by paul kalanithi. something of a let-down for me
- childhood’s end by arthur c clarke
- this is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar and max gladstone. i should never read books i see on tiktok. this was very bad.
i’m currently reading the left hand of darkness by ms le guin and selections from marx’s grundrisse edited by david mclellan
11 - what non-fiction books do you like if any
if any!! i’m getting my masters in history so i’m in a committed relationship with nonfiction. some of my faves include:
- scraping by: wage labor, slavery, and survival in early baltimore by seth rockman
- power, pleasure, and profit: insatiable appetites from machiavelli to madison by david wooton
- debt: the first 5,000 years by david graeber
- the shoemaker and the tea party: memory and the american revolution by alfred young
15 - answered!
