"So, after summer, in the autumn air,
Comes the cold volume of forgotten ghosts,
But soothingly, with pleasant instruments,
So that this cold, a children's tale of ice,
Seems like a sheen of heat romanticized."

"… potential recruits with the right skills
have too often been heading for business,
and those who do choose government work
often go to the National Security Agency…."

A reader comments on yesterday afternoon's New York Times
"The Stone" column by Justin E.H. Smith—
"I did indeed appreciate Mr. Smith’s essay.
And I’m curious as to what future contributions of his,
to the Stoner series, that we can look forward to."

From this journal on the following day, Sept. 21:
Happy birthday, Stephen King.
Today's previous entry is based on a song, "Unthought Known,"
from the above album; the cover of the album uses the 3×3 grid
shown in Sept. 20's midnight review. For related material
on the unconscious, see June 13-15, 2005.
I know more than Apollo,
For oft when he lies sleeping
I see the stars at mortal wars
In the wounded welkin weeping.
'Do we just knock?' Meg giggled."
Detail:
"Do we just knock?"

Der Einsatz
…da ist der Tanz;
Doch weder Stillstand noch Bewegung.
Und nenne es nicht Beständigkeit,
Wo Vergangenheit und Zukunft sich sammeln.
