For Henriette D. Avram, a systems analyst who “had to enter the mind of the library cataloger, a profession whose arcane knowledge– involving deep philosophical questions about taxonomy, interconnectedness and the nature of similarity and difference– was guarded like priestly ritual.” — Margalit Fox in today’s New York Times
Mrs. Avram died on April 22.
For related material on priestly ritual, see
- the Log24 entry of Easter Monday, April 17: Sub Specie Aeternitatis
- an emblem, Finis Coronat Opus, linked to from that entry’s image
- a poem, “The Wreck of the Deutschland,” that may or may not have been influenced by that emblem.
