The Man Who Was Thursday

The following is an excerpt from an email sent from Will to Art on 14 November 2014.

G.K. Chesterton

I've been listening to the old Garageband files this morning and renewing my love of the music. 

Something kind of cool came to me. I'm stealing from Chesterton here. I'll include the paragraphs from The Man Who Was Thursday at the end.

The Sweet World should consist of seven members. Each one should dress as a different day of creation. The symbolism could be subtle or overt, but Arthur wears white because he is the day on which God said, "Let there be light."  He is creative dynamism: the unfocused, the unshackled, a light in the darkness, the wild and awesome reflection of God, the mysterious and unknowable.

Will should probably be day six, the day that man is made. He could also be day seven, the day God rested (and the Wills of the world got to work). The latter gives us bookends.

Both do, in a sense. Arthur is the creator and Will is the completer/finisher.

Here is the passage from The Man Who Was Thursday.
