Yesterday's "Succor" cited the New York Lottery of Tuesday— Midday 489, Evening 886.
One interpretation of these numbers—
- 489 as the number of a page in the Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens
with verses that suggested to one author the following questions:
"How can one express one's sense of the ground of things?
What is the structure of Being itself…?" — Thomas Jensen Hines - 886 as a number applied recently to a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins
with the notable phrase "the unchanging register of change"
Some background from Tuesday—
- 489 background: See "Groups Acting" (10:10 AM EDT)
- 886 background: See a different Hopkins poem (linked to in "Rhyme Scheme," 1:23 AM EDT)
