Thomas Merton

I read late into the night a biography about Thomas Merton. What a complex personality. I wonder if he ever was truly at peace with himself. As of yet I have read nothing of this writings. I started with his diary and now a biography. I did the same with the writer Sylvia Plath. I read everything about her with fascination but found her writings not to my taste. I looked at a few poems by Thomas Merton which were included in the biography. They don't do anything for me either. I will look at Seven Storey Mountain. I already know that it was heavily censored. One of the local hoods gets all these books right now once I am done.
