Example text
There is no corpse or burial. Moria's death is not natural. In Erasmus' theological scheme there are four kinds of death: spiritual, natural, transformative, and eternal,186 and of these Moria's is the third.
If in Moria's phrase e Trophonii specu reversi may be heard not only 'come from' the cave, as translations have had it,43 but 'turned around' or 'reversed' from the cave, she refers to the initiatory ritual. 44 From those cavernous depths sprang Lethe, from which the mystic drank to forgetfulness, to make Mnemosune's oracular draught unforgettable. 47 Lethe will figure importantly in the unravelling of Moria's secret. '48 Moria's catechumenate is a relief, however: we are born to her devotion. 5* Mystae is no idle salutation.
The 'harsh necessity of death,'108 as she terms it, has been Scholars'Ink 37 tutored engagingly, and in delight mystics have been initiated. If it has not been clear to readers that her oration is a mystical initiation to eschatological meditation, then that is partly a score of its success. It has been claimed that humanism 'insists above all on the association between Folly, Death, and Everyman/ but that this 'implies a profoundly pessimistic and demystifying view of the human world/109 If this is so, Moria is no humanist's fool.
