Shelley’s elegy for John Keats, “Adonais” in which he writes that the “Light, Beauty and sustaining Love in which all things work and move…burns bright or dim [according] as each are mirrors of the fire for which all thirst,” what Ramchal and other Jewish sages term “the Light of God’s Countenance,” the perfect Unity of “the Highest Wisdom.” As the title “Adonais” suggests, Shelley was engaged (1821) in efforts to use Neo-Platonism to synthesize Scriptural wisdom with pagan symbols as a way to approach “the Spirit of Beauty” that “gives grace and truth to life’s unquiet dream” (“Hymn to Intellectual Beauty,” 1816) 36. Though these titles, Shelley’s syncretic thought and terms like “the white radiance of Eternity” often resemble Jewish concepts like “knowledge is the form of the soul” in which we were created and can comprehend the One, there is no known evidence that he read Rav Luzzato though clearly his thought was suffused with Torah studies. In his penultimate major poem, Hellas Shelley has a Jewish sage, ironically named Ahasuerus counsel an embattled Sultan “to look on that which cannot change: the One, the Unborn and the Undying” and “the Fathomless” yet has him then propound an enlightenment view in which the faculties of mind, “thought, passion, will, reason, imagination” take the place of the One (Hellas 762-806)

17. J.M. Coetzee, Waiting for the Barbarians (1980; Penguin 1982), 14-17 passim 18. Percy B. Shelley, “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” (1816), verse 11; Shelley had a true seeker’s desire but “the primitive understanding of God” against which he understandably raged and rebelled, as well as the pride of a Hellenist and aristocrat kept him from rectifying directly. His short life’s intense but “round about” journey toward the “One Spirit” that appears in all his major works indicates the pathos, ingenuity, horror and terror of the West. He is the quintessential Romantic, thoughtful and introspective modernist who finds despair in the “wandering mazes” of mental gymnastics, of spiritual quest evaluated by the self’s own reason and appetites; lack of mentoring is a constant Romantic theme and lament, a lack that proper Torah study and observance supplies, an antidote to the progressive exaltation of youth over experience and age. The Torah is not just an educational book; it “rewards the effort that people put into it” and “must lead to rectification [through] reverence for the study itself,” Ramchal 4.2.4-7

editliberty incident information
editRegarding a recent edit you made to the USS Liberty Incident article.
You wrote: "The U. S. S. Liberty was capable of intercepting Israeli communications and transmitting information to America's British allies. At the time, Israel's enemy Jordan was a close military partner of the British Empire."
I have not studied the relationship between Britain and Jordan, during the Six Day War. So, I do not know and cannot intelligently comment on the depth or scope of any military alliance between the two countries.
I am knowledgeable about USS Liberty's signal intercept and communications capabilities. My knowledge is from personal experience as a former U.S. Navy Communications Technician, and studying offical documents related to the U.S. Navy's Court of Inquiry.
Given the proper conditions, the ship was capable of intercepting any country's radio communications -- including Israel's.
There is no evidence that USS Liberty had a direct communications channel with the British. The ship transmitted its signal intelligence related messages to the United States either using HF (shortwave) radio or its TRSSCOMM (moon-bounce) system.
The HF radio transmissions consisted of encrypted (via KW-7) Teletype messages received by the U.S. Navy communications station in Greece. From Greece, the messages were relayed, via HF radio, to the U.S. Navy communications station in Morocco. How the messages were sent beyond Morocco, I'm not sure; but it was likely via HF radio or undersea cable to the United States.
The TRSSCOMM transmissions consisted of encrypted (via KW-7) Teletype messages transmitted via a UHF radio signal bounced off the moon and received on earth by a U.S. Navy communications station near Washington, DC.
Of course, the United States and Britain were allies. Thus, it's possible that some or all signal intelligence collected by USS Liberty was eventually passed to Britain, after being evaluated by intelligence agencies in the United States. But there is no evidence to support this possibility; and if true, I doubt that any evidence would ever be released to the public. So, at best, one can only speculate on what may or may not have been shared with the British.
Generally, I find that claims of this type are related to some type of conspiracy theory about the attack. In other words, unsupported claims that there was a secret effort by the United States to support Arab nations during the Six Day War. Thus, the reason Israel attacked the ship. This is unlikely because both the UAR and Syria were allied with the Soviet Union. The United States would have had no rational interest in supporting countries allied with the Soviets -- just the opposite.
Finally, documentary evidence, recently released by the United States National Security Agency (NSA), makes clears that the primary mission of USS Liberty was to monitor communications from the UAR for any indication of direct Soviet involvement or close support during the war. This is supported by other documentary evidence telling of Russian and Arabic linguist boarding the ship in Rota, Spain, before it departed for the northern coast of the UAR's Sinai peninsula.
I hope this information is helpful.Ken (talk) 12:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
