"The Forgotten Threshold: A Journal of Arthur Middleton" by Edward J. O'Brien is a deeply introspective collection of journal entries written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a philosophical and spiritual exploration, narrated through the thoughts and reflections of Arthur Middleton as he grapples with the beauty of existence, the nature of faith, and his relationship with the divine. It ultimately delves into themes of beauty, silence, and the eternal connection between humanity and God. The journal details Middleton's experiences as he retreats to a serene island environment, providing a backdrop for his reflections that range from meditative engagements with nature to profound insights on spiritual matters. Through vivid imagery and lyrical language, Middleton expresses his longing for deep truths and meaning in life, often contemplating the forces of creation and the essence of love and silence. The entries capture a sense of yearning and inner conflict, portraying his journey towards understanding humanity's purpose in the light of divine beauty, culminating in a realization of his will and role in the cosmic order.
