 EleanorMunro 談她母親晚年

In a 1993 article for the Travel section of The Times, she offered a sort of memorial of her own. She told a story from when she was working on the book about pilgrimages: She took her mother, who was then 86 and seemed to be fading, on one of her pilgrimage trips, through France and Spain. The trip, she wrote, seemed to revive her mother’s interest in life, if briefly.

“The details of the trip were soon gone from Mother’s mind,” she wrote at the end of that essay, “as I knew they would be, but it left in mine a most palpable sense of her questing personality and her life-savoring presence. Mother died in 1991 at the age of 94.”

On Glory Roads: A Pilgrim's Book About Pilgrimage Hardcover – 1 4 月 1987

作者 Eleanor Munro (Author)

From Publishers Weekly

Convinced that going on pilgrimage is a universally shared ritual almost as old as humankind, art critic Munro herself goes on pilgrimages to India, Indonesia, Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostella in northwestern Spain, the centers of four of the world's major religions, describing the myths on which they were founded and the rites, arts and monuments they have generated. Writing for a small, highly educated audience, she shows thatbased as they are on our earliest observations of the heavensmany subsequent beliefs, ideas, symbols, ceremonies and buildings are a consequence of the need of humans to view themselves in relation to the stars, to the cosmos, to eternity. Asking "Does our sense of things reflect their nature or only the nature of our need?" she concludes that "people need to feel they are on a journey that rises out of the past while preserving its connections with it, in order to rise out of the way of hopeless death."
