Merton was at the Abbey of Gethsemani when he wrote Seven Storey Mountain. I’m sorry but I don’t know the answer to your question about Nancy Flagg. Thanks for your interest.

Was Thomas Merton located at Bonaventure College when he wrote (in Seven Storey Mountain):

"And when Nancy Flagg was there, she sat in the same sun and combed her long hair, which was marvellous red-gold and I hope she never cut it short because it gave glory to God." ... ?

... and was Nancy Flagg located in an Exclusively Female Area where there were no Trees/Flowers/Shrubs/Grass/etc. for her Hair to be Caught&TangledUp in ?
