Today's New York Times —

"You never know what could happen.
If you have Sam, you’re going to be cool."

If anyone in San Diego cares about the relationship
of Spann's plane to Fury's Tesseract, he or she may

Eve and Cleavage

From a poem by Frances Frost—

"The upper peak, the shattered rock that cleaves the northward sky
remains alone untaken by the darkness"

— "From a Mountain-Top," The North American Review ,
December 1939 (Vol. 248, No. 2, page 301)

For some material related to the Frost poem,
if only by verbal coincidence, see shattered + rock in this journal.

See also rock + cleavage.

For the relationship to Eve, see New Year's Eve, 2012, 
and the following image by Karolin Schnoor, who also
illustrated the New York Times  op-ed piece "Catholic
Education, in Need of Salvation" published online on
Epiphany 2013 (see last evening's Log24 post)—

For some context, see Establishment of the Talented.
