This copy with a lengthy inscription, partially in Hebrew, dated December, 1973: "... two travelers, traveling at night, met a blind man holding a lantern. 'Why the lantern? You're blind.' 'Others will see the pits and tell me where they are.' Allow this book to be a lantern. / Stephen Pickering." The author's investigations into Kabbalah in relation to Bob Dylan's poetry and music. Pickering is described as "a religious Jew" and he directs this book "toward all who - in time of pain, in time of joy - have asked questions and, in the asking, have formulated new, experiential questions." Pickering "is convinced that Dylan is operating out of a Hassidic tradition in which hope is garnered and nourished out of the perception of certain paradoxes." Item #61521
