A window on the secular soul
Article Abstract:
When looking at various phases in people's lives, pictures and voices are seen to change continuously and therefore give a distorted picture of the unchanging soul of a person. The written word, however, is a good guide, manuscript usually changing little if at all through the years. Such basic consistency can be noticed in the written works of well known personalities such as Virginia Woolf's 'Writer's Diary' or Vincent van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo. Their artistic output matured and improved during the course of their lives but the person writing these notes and letters scarcely changed at all.
