Anyone who knows me ,knows by now both that the Beatles have always been my very favorites, and that I’ve quite an interest (being a lay Carmelite, but of course) in St. John of the Cross.
It recently occurred to me that the John Lennon/Paul McCartney song, ‘The End’, from the Fabs’ ‘Abbey Road’ album, is virtually an absolute paraphrase of the Sanjuanist phrase referred to above.
