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."

The Origin of Change

A note on the figure
from this morning's sermon:

"Two things of opposite natures seem to depend
On one another, as a man depends
On a woman, day on night, the imagined
On the real. This is the origin of change.
Winter and spring, cold copulars, embrace
And forth the particulars of rapture come."

— Wallace Stevens,
"Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction,"
Canto IV of "It Must Change"
