Father Merton, the elo-
quent Trappist, calls his new
book some notes on the Psal-
ter" It is much more than
that. He says 1t might appeal
above all to monks. but, per-
haps mindful of the extraor-
dinary popularity Of his pre-
vious works. comedies that in
this mysterious age there is
no telling whom the book may
reach.
The title arises from the fact
that for the contemplative or
ders. who chant through the
entire PSalter in a week, the
Psalms are the nourishment of
the interior life. Father Mer-
tons commentary is based on
an Interpretation of the
Psalms as steps to contempla-
ton. which he describes as "a
gift Of God. in which the soul,
purified by His infused love,
suddenly and inexplicably ex-
periences the presence of God
within ITSELF" In this light,
obviously. the Psalms are not
merely ancient poems which
the church fancifully adapts
to her own liturgical uses"
They are rather, "a school Of
contemplation which has no
equal except the Gospels and
st. Paul."
Plainly. those in search Of a
poetic appreciation of the
Psalter must search elsewhere,
although Father Merton notes
the universally and simplicity
Of their poetic appeal. His view
