Last night's touching dialogue on "Loki" between Victor Timely and
Miss MInutes suggests a review of a recent rather one-sided conversation
of my own —
Thus far, there has been no reply.
The "Loki" dialogue above took place in Chicago, a town repeatedly
described by novelist Willard Motley as a "blue-black panther."
Perhaps the email addressee has in mind the sage advice of
Ogden Nash . . .
"If called by a panther, don't anther."
Motifs for Conway:
Later . . .
The above reposting was suggested in part by
the word "sevenfold" in Milton —
From the above nineteenth-century text, a verse by Spenser, adapted —
"Bodied, heard, souled, seen."
— might well be applied to a noted brother and sister, as in Petronius:
"… dum frater sororis suae automata per clostellum miratur …."
Detail from the Instagram of Emma Watson —
Birthday of T. S. Eliot,
George Gershwin,
and Olivia Newton-John
Time past and time future
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
— T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They’re only made of clay….
— Ira Gershwin

In honor of Tom and George (not to mention Olivia) the muse of dance, Terpsichore, suggests that today we recall Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron as they dance by the Seine in “An American in Paris.” |
Today is also the birthday of Martin Heidegger, author of Being and Time. In honor of Heidegger and his girlfriend Hannah Arendt, I looked for a rendition of “Our Love is Here to Stay” on the glockenspiel, but could not find one. The birthday song “Las Mañanitas” will therefore have to do for Tom, George, Olivia, and Martin, as well as Michael and Catherine (see Sept. 25 note below).
