From a New York Times  obituary today —

From Piligrimage: The Book of the People  by Zenna Henderson
(a 1961 collection, published by Doubleday, of earlier stories) —

But all things have to end, and I sat one May afternoon, 
staring into my top desk drawer, the last to be cleaned out, 
wondering what to do with the accumulation of useless 
things in it. But I wasn’t really seeing the contents of the 
drawer, I was concentrating on the great weary emptiness 
that pressed my shoulders down and weighted my mind. 
“It’s not fair,” I muttered aloud and illogically, "to show 
me Heaven and then snatch it away.” 

“That’s about what happened to Moses, too, you know.” 

My surprised start spilled an assortment of paper clips 
and thumb tacks from the battered box I had just picked up. 

“Well forevermore!” I said, righting the box. "Dr. Curtis! 
What are you doing here?” 

"Returning to the scene of my crime,” he smiled, coming 
through the open door.

This is from Henderson's "Pottage," a story first published in 1955.

From Dogma Part II: Amores Perros —

"It is night on the fourth of the curving terraces, high above the sea.
The stars are full out, known and unknown. Dante is halfway up the mountain….
It is half through the poem; half the whole is seen and said: hell, where grace
is not known but as a punishment; purgatory where grace and punishment are
two manners of one fact."

Music from the film, and from this journal on 6/15 —

Some will prefer the history of Task Force Dog from 
the December 1950 Chosin Reservoir campaign. For some
historical background, see a newspaper article written in 2009.

For some musical background, see a Dec. 7, 1950, newspaper
report of a church Christmas production. I was not active in any
church then, and am not now, but I later went to high school with,
and admired, several of the people from the church production.

So much for lookin' behind. For lookin' upstairs . . .

"There was cause to worry about the enemy occupying the 
high ground on both sides of the MSR [Main Supply Route].
The resemblance to the 23rd Psalm's 'valley of the shadow
of death' was inescapable to us."

Dorothy E. Smith, Groundbreaker in Feminist Sociology, Dies at 95.
NY Times obituary by Clay Risen / June 16, 2022 at 05:22 PM ET.

That obituary describes a background for Smith that makes her seem
like the fictional Enola Holmes, sister of Sherlock.

The musical accompaniment suggests a search in this journal
for "Reservoir." From that search, some remarks of perhaps
greater philosophical interest —

Katherine Neville, author of The Eight —

"Nine is a very powerful Nordic number."

in The Magic Circle , Ballantine paperback, 1999, p. 339.

From "When Novelists Become Cubists," by Andre Furlani—

"The architectonics of a narrative," Davenport says,
"are emphasized and given a role to play in dramatic effect
when novelists become Cubists; that is, when they see
the possibilities of making a hieroglyph, a coherent symbol,
an ideogram of the total work. A symbol comes into being
when an artist sees that it is the only way to get all the meaning in." 

* See "Starlight Like Intuition" by Delmore Schwartz.
The "Twelve" of the title may be regarded as cube edges.
