What Robertson Davies Said About EDMUND WILSON

________________________________________________________________________________________________


His dissatisfaction with God
appears to have rested
on the fact that
God cannot be argued with,
bombarded with human reason
and made to give
explanations.
Much faith is childish, of course:
But atheism also has
its childish and pompous
aspects.

    On page 103 of "The Enthusiasms of Robertson Davies."

    It behooves me to mention that EDMUND WILSON,
    who was a Princeton classmate and lifelong friend/defender
    of F. Scott Fitzgerald, was also America's greatest essayist
    but a shitty novelist
