For All Time

"… and the Wichita lineman is still on the line…"

(Reflection on a member of the Radcliffe Class of 1964 who lived near Wichita and now has her own home page… While listening to a song on my "home on The Range – KHYI 95.3FM, Plano, Texas.")

Readings for a seminar we never really finished:

"…that ineffable constellation of talents that makes the player of rank: a gift for conceiving abstract schematic possibilities; a sense of mathematical poetry in the light of which the infinite chaos of probability and permutation is crystallized under the pressure of intense concentration into geometric blossoms; the ruthless focus of force on the subtlest weakness of an opponent."

— Trevanian, Shibumi

" 'Haven't there been splendidly elegant colors in Japan since ancient times?'

'Even black has various subtle shades,' Sosuke nodded.' "

— Yasunari Kawabata, The Old Capital

    It makes me feel all lonely … nostalgic … *hmpffff*
