Ong's Thought," I discuss Benoit's book Single Nature's Double Name: The Collectedness of the Conflicting in British and American Romanticism (The Hague and Paris: Mouton, 1973) in connection with the life and work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). In addition to highlighting each man's thought, I explore the potential importance of what Samuel Taylor Coleridge says about the imagination endowing certain people with the capability to balance or reconcile opposite or discordant qualities.enWalter J.
