Tough 72 hours. Kitten stopped eating, wouldn't take bottle. No intake for 24 hours. I feared the worst, I planned his burial. A switch flipped. Overnight he graduated from bottle to moist to kibble. He started using a litter box. "Douglas" here dominates a bowl of kibble.

“But with the Greeks who emigrated after the fall of Constantinople (1453) there came to Italy the whole literary tradition of the Byzantine East, and the works of the Greek fathers were its choicest part” (pp. 100-101).

“It is evident…Gregory’s theology that it is permeated with the Greek idea of paideia, especially its Platonic form. Plato derives the paideia of his Laws from the divine nous” (p. 98).

“Literature is paideia, in so far as it contains the highest norms of human life…Gregory clearly sees the analogy between this Greek concept of literature and the function of the Bible…He did not read the Bible as literature, as the modern tendency is.” (p. 92).
