Balance "An asymmetrical balance is sought since it possesses more movement.
This is achieved by the imaginary plotting of the character upon a
nine-fold square, invented by some ingenious writer of the Tang
dynasty. If the square were divided in half or in four, the result
would be symmetrical, but the nine-fold square permits balanced
asymmetry." -- Chiang Yee, Chinese Calligraphy, quoted in Aspen no. 10, item 8 "'Burnt Norton' opens as a meditation on time. Many comparable and contrasting views are introduced. The lines are drenched with reminiscences of Heraclitus' fragments on flux and movement.... the chief contrast around which Eliot constructs this poem is that between the view of time as a mere continuum, and the difficult paradoxical Christian view of how man lives both 'in and out of time,' how he is immersed in the flux and yet can penetrate to the eternal by apprehending timeless existence within time and above it. But even for the Christian the moments of release from the pressures of the flux are rare, though they alone redeem the sad wastage of otherwise unillumined existence. Eliot recalls one such moment of peculiar poignance, a childhood moment in the rose-garden-- a symbol he has previously used, in many variants, for the birth of desire. Its implications are intricate and even ambiguous, since they raise the whole problem of how to discriminate between supernatural vision and mere illusion. Other variations here on the theme of how time is conquered are more directly apprehensible. In dwelling on the extension of time into movement, Eliot takes up an image he had used in 'Triumphal March': 'at the still point of the turning world.' This notion of 'a mathematically pure point' (as Philip Wheelwright has called it) seems to be Eliot's poetic equivalent in our cosmology for Dante's 'unmoved Mover,' another way of symbolising a timeless release from the 'outer compulsions' of the world. Still another variation is the passage on the Chinese jar in the final section. Here Eliot, in a conception comparable to Wallace Stevens' 'Anecdote of the Jar,' has suggested how art conquers time: -- F. O. Matthiessen, The Achievement of T.S.

Her mission is to infiltrate the strongholds of the neighboring country

Goodchild. Monica represents a dynamic anarchist society while
Bregna embodies a centralized scientific planned state."
-- Wikipedia "After Aeon is done, Trevor decides that she knows too much, so he has a underling propose a plan to kill her. The plan, quite strangely, is to implant a bunch of nanites (microscopic robots) in Trevors seminal duct so he has sex with Aeon and the nanites tear her apart from the inside. But Aeon was prepared because she had some weird, mean, spiky, device in her uterus(!?!!) that eats the nanites (that part is kinda weak), she blows up a wall then and escapes leaving Trevor standing there naked and confused."

Skeptics' Anniversary From AP's "Today in History" for Oct. 28:
1. Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science, by Martin Gardner (Dover, 1957), and 2. A book on evolution, whose title I do not recall. Perhaps it was Apes, Angels, and Victorians, by William Irvine (McGraw-Hill, 1955). I found in later years that Gardner was not to be trusted (certainly not on the subject of mathematics-- he never had even one college course in the subject). Darwin, however, still seems eminently reasonable. For my own views on the religion of Scientism advocated by many at Harvard and by those who admire Gardner, see For a musical version of some related views, see For an update on the religion of Scientism, see yesterday's Newsday: Skeptics converge to take on religion and morality "The congress coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Council for Secular Humanism, the arm of the center dedicated to promoting a nonreligious philosophy." The word "nonreligious" here should, since Scientism itself amounts to a religion, be viewed with a great deal of skepticism. Posted 10/28/2005 at 4:30 PM |

North Country Outrage
In memory of Barrington Moore Jr., Harvard observer of social folly, who died on Sunday, October 16 Barrington Moore Jr. in 1978 On Moral Outrage: "People's organizations, loudspeakers, newspapers, the secret police, and the courts all swing into action and the campaign is launched. A reasonably intelligent person, particularly the educated product of Chinese civilization, which for centuries has stressed the nuances of moral indignation in a setting of intrigue and bureaucratic protocol, will know at once just how to adjust facial expressions and tones of voice in showing the correct degree of indignation for each degree on the official set of priorities that ranks all possible varieties of the execrable behavior of the enemies of the people. A poor peasant or worker cannot be expected to do as well. Worse still, a peasant or a worker may have trouble understanding why this year's enemies of the people include some of last year's heroes, and why it is necessary to have another exhausting campaign so soon if the last one was as successful as everybody said it was. But since socialism is a workers' and peasants' state that belongs to the people, there are lots of people to explain such matters to workers and peasants, and indeed to anybody else who cares to listen. Furthermore just about everybody must care to listen. Woe to the person who stubbornly refuses to listen to the right noises or to try to make the right noises under socialism, since a socialist state is very efficient in its allocation of human as well as material resources.""Come gather 'round friends
And I'll tell you a tale of when the red iron pits ran plenty.... My children will go As soon as they grow. Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them." -- Robert Zimmerman, "North Country Blues," 1963 "Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine." -- Robert Zimmerman, "Girl of the North Country," 1963 Click to enlarge. Above: propaganda poster of the 2005 October revolution. The title of the current film
"North Country" was taken from Zimmerman's second song above. Apparently Zimmerman's first lament,
about the iron pits being idle, is not currently in favor with
leftists. It still has validity, however. See
Where the Rivers Run North,by Diane Alden. Alden, who has lived in northern Minnesota,
is perhaps more familiar with its problems than is the New Zealand
feminist Niki Caro (director of "Whale Rider," as well as "North

Philadelphia Stories for John O'Hara How does one stand To behold the sublime, To confront the mockers, The mickey mockers And plated pairs? -- Wallace Stevens, 1936 On the left, a Catholic answer. On the right, a Protestant answer. Pictured: "High Society," "The Philadelphia Story," "Rocky" statue, Robert Scott These are familiar parts of popular culture except for Scott, who died on Thursday. According to the New York Times, Scott's mother, "the
former Helen Hope Montgomery, was said to be the model for Tracy Lord,
Katharine Hepburn's character in 'The Philadelphia Story.'" "High
Society" is, of course, a rather Catholic version of that story, starring Grace Kelly, also of Philadelphia.
It is perhaps not entirely irrelevant

Canon A brief note to place Edward Bennett Marks, who died either on Saturday, October 8, 2005 (Washington Post), or on Monday, October 10, 2005 (New York Times), in my personal canon of saints. Today's New York Times says that Marks spent his career "aiding refugees as an executive of American and international agencies, both official and volunteer." This alone was commendable, but not miraculous. The miraculous is contained in three words from the Log24 entry of October 10, the date of death of Orson Welles, of Yul Brynner, and perhaps of Marks: "All come home." For a rather different perspective on St. Yul Brynner, see "Shall We Dance?"-- a profile by Calvin Tomkins in this week's New Yorker (issue dated 2005 10/17, posted 10/10) of an artist raised in Bangkok.

A Poem for Pinter
The Guardian on Harold Pinter, winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature: "Earlier this year, he announced his decision to retire from playwriting in favour of poetry," Michael Muskal in today's Los Angeles Times: "Pinter, 75, is known for his sparse and thin style as well as his etched characters whose crystal patter cuts through the mood like diamond drill bits." Robert Stone, A Flag for Sunrise (See Jan. 25): "'That old Jew gave me this here.' Egan looked at the diamond.... 'It's worth a whole lot of money-- you can tell that just by looking-- but it means something, I think. It's got a meaning, like.' 'Let's see,' Egan said, 'what would it mean?' He took hold of Pablo's hand cupping the stone and held his own hand under it. '"The jewel is in the lotus," perhaps that's what it means. The eternal in the temporal....'" Notes on Modal Logic:

Today's Sermon:
Magical Thinking
On this date-- "In 1936,
the first generator at Boulder (later Hoover) Dam began transmitting electricity to Los Angeles." -- Today in History, Associated Press "Brightness doubled generates radiance." -- Hexagram 30 "I know what nothing means." -- Maria Wyeth in Play It As It Lays "Nothing is random." -- Mark Helprin in Winter's Tale Maria Wyeth in Las Vegas: "... She thought about nothing. Her mind was a blank tape, imprinted daily with snatches of things overheard, fragments of dealers' patter, the beginnings of jokes and odd lines of song lyrics. When she finally lay down nights in the purple room she would play back the day's tape, a girl singing into a microphone and a fat man dropping a glass, cards fanned on a table and a dealer's rake in closeup and a woman in slacks crying and the opaque blue eyes of the guard at some baccarat table. A child in the harsh light of a crosswalk on the Strip. A sign on Fremont Street. A light blinking. In her half sleep the point was ten, the jackpot was on eighteen, the only man that could ever reach her was the son of a preacher man, someone was down sixty, someone was up, Daddy wants a popper and she rode a painted pony let the spinning wheel spin. By the end of a week she was thinking constantly about where her body stopped and the air began, about the exact point in space and time that was the difference between Maria and other. She had the sense that if she could get that in her mind and hold it for even one micro-second she would have what she had come to get. As if she had fever, her skin burned and crackled with a pinpoint sensitivity. She could feel smoke against her skin. She could feel voice waves. She was beginning to feel color, light intensities, and she imagined that she could be put blindfolded in front of the signs at the Thunderbird and the Flamingo and know which was which. 'Maria,' she felt someone whisper one night, but when she turned there was nobody. She began to feel the pressure of Hoover Dam, there on the desert, began to feel the pressure and pull of the water. When the pressure got great enough she drove out there. All that day she felt the power surging through her own body. All day she was faint with vertigo, sunk in a world where great power grids converged, throbbing lines plunged finally into the shallow canyon below the dam's face, elevators like coffins dropped into the bowels of the earth itself. With a guide and a handful of children Maria walked through the chambers, stared at the turbines in the vast glittering gallery, at the deep still water with the hidden intakes sucking all the while, even as she watched, clung to the railings, leaned out, stood finally on a platform over the pipe that carried the river beneath the dam. The platform quivered. Her ears roared. She wanted to stay in the dam, lie on the great pipe itself, but reticence saved her from asking. 'Just how long
have you been here now,' Freddy Chaikin asked when she ran into him in
Caesar's. 'You planning on making a year of it? Or what?'" Related material

From a Rosh Hashana sermon by Devra Felder Noily: "Throughout these Holy Days we will chant Unetaneh Tokef, a liturgical poem more than a thousand years old. In it we find the words:
The prayer quotes from the book of Kings. There, the prophet Elijah has reached his breaking point, and God reaches out to him. The text tells us: Then the Eternal passed by. There was a great and mighty wind, splitting mountains and shattering rocks by the power of God, but God was not in the wind. After the wind, an earthquake-- but God was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, fire-- but God was not in the fire. And after the fire, a still small voice." Posted 10/6/2005 at 2:00 AM |
