The Hunting of the Snark

from The Tao of Christ · host Marshall Davis

In this episode I interpret Lewis Carroll’s enigmatic 1876 poem “The Hunting of the Snark” as an allegory of the spiritual life. In particular I see it as portraying the spiritual practice known as self-inquiry.If you are interested in reading the poem, here is an online version of it from the Poetry Foundation:https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43909/the-hunting-of-the-snarkView Marshall's books here:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
