Oh, the wisdom and insight of Mr Lewis. It's been a while since I read this - a great reminder of the ways of "the world".

When i found out what the inklings were, i thought that i would've loved the chance to be a fly on the wall of one of those meetings. After listening to this, I am wondering if that desire will turn me into a scoundrel ? 😮🙃😂

No. It's the desire to think highly of yourself, and the vicious glee in excluding others, which would make you a scoundrel.

Agreed. I guess I thought it was a neat parallel comparing the inner ring to the inklings. @@bobtaylor170

@greatoutdoors6318 hi, i just listened again. Thanks for your reply. My jnderstanding is that he is talking about outsiders who want to belong to inner circles for the wrong reasons.

This was one of my favorite Lewis Essays. It explains a lot about the so-called "In-Groups" in school, especially middle and high school. I understood the dynamic a lot better after reading the article and then hearing it here.

In the closing comments on his poem All the Kingdoms of the World , Malcolm Guite pointed to your essay The Inner Ring . His poem appears in his collection of poems for Lent and Easter titled The Word in the Wilderness on the First Friday of Lent . thx , kev

Spoken by one who has first hand experience as an outsider. Lewis was shunned by the Oxford inner ring, later when he became famous I’m guessing he had other battles dealing with pride and self. I appreciate his depth of perception into the human condition. Is this an excerpt from one of his books?

If I may I ask, are you, the publisher of this site, also the narrator of the Lewis books and essays? If you are not, could you give us a link to the narrator 's site? I greatly enjoy listening to C.S. Lewis, particularly when read by this particular narrator.

I know it's not the fault of the person who does this channel, but the narrator is terrible. Lewis' voice, which you may be able to find recordings of online, was manly and robust. This guy sounds anemic and effete, and is hard to listen to. Very hard, close to impossible, but Lewis' brilliance is overwhelming my desire to go elsewhere. For the moment.

@@TheIrishmanCan, why don't you listen to the actual Lewis? Then tell me if you think the narrator is phenomenal. He may be a phenomenal man. He may be phenomenal at narrating other things than this. But for this, he's awful. As I said, though, Lewis overrides it.
