Dear All,
Answering my question if "The spirit is willing. . . " is originally said by
Christ to St. Peter and quoted by St. Augustine, Jansy checked its origin
for me.
From the Bible, Matthew 26:41. 'Watch and pray, that ye enter not into
temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.'
"Temptation," "spirit" and "the flesh is weak" sound to fit HP who desires
the receptionist with the spirits including Armande around him.
Moreover, this could be another St. Peter motif. Remember Keith McMullen's
paralleling
"the inexperienced miracle-worker" in TT-1 with the story of St. Peter
walking on the water (Matthew 14:22-31).
I think St. Peter is chosen for TT probably because his name means "stone."
St. Peter belongs to the theme of rock/stone as well as the theme of gravity
(falling, sinking).
Best wishes,
Akiko
