For more about Rome, see two pages from Stevens suggested
by the New York Lottery numbers from today, St. Peter's Day.
The pages mention "Rome after dark" and a "disused ambit
of the soul." Those who prefer a "more severe, more
harassing master" may consult the date 8/6/79 suggested by
the New York Lottery this afternoon and, from that date,
Freeman Dyson's memoir in The New Yorker .
This evening's four-digit number, 0006, may, if one likes,
be regarded as an "artist's signature" of sorts.
The New Yorker on Dyson—
"He recalls that at age 8 he read 'The Magic City,'
by Edith Nesbit. It is the story of a crazy universe.
He now sees that this universe bears a strong
resemblance to the one we live in."
