German Lesson: Untergang
The recent posts "Bunker Bingo" and "Here's to Efficient Packing!"
suggest a review.
Alex Ross in The New Yorker on Dec. 2, 2020, on the German
word "Untergang " —
"The usual translation is 'downfall,' although
the various implications of the word—
literally, “going-under”—are difficult to capture
in English. In some contexts, Untergang simply
means descent: a sunset is a Sonnenuntergang .

Dead Poet Joke
From the subtitles of the recent Kristen Stewart film “Underwater” —

00:30:26,144 –> 00:30:27,476
He’d always say
he had a new joke,
428
00:30:27,478 –> 00:30:29,445
and then he’d tell
the same stupid joke.
429
00:30:29,447 –> 00:30:32,785
I was… laughing at that joke.
430
00:30:34,053 –> 00:30:35,685
Yeah, what was it?
431
00:30:35,687 –> 00:30:38,654
What did the fish say when
it bumped into the brick wall?
April 11 was the dies natalis , in the Catholic sense, of John Horton Conway.

The Rothko Conundrum
Photo: J. Griffis Smith
By Molly Glentzer, Houston Chronicle , February 3, 2016
“At night, over Rothko Chapel’s reflecting pond, ‘Broken Obelisk’
looks particularly dramatic.
The great American sculptor Barnett Newman once said his
monumental sculpture ‘Broken Obelisk’ was intended to transform
ideas about life and tragedy into a glimpse of the ‘sublime.’ ”
