"Is there no change of death in paradise?" — Wallace Stevens 

From a New Yorker  book review dated May 13 —

"In 'Field Flowers,' Glück’s flower scoffs that 'absence of change' 
is humanity’s 'poor idea of heaven.' But the religious believer
might object that Hägglund’s idea of eternity is equally poor." 

Here James Wood is reviewing Martin Hägglund’s
This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom 
(Pantheon, March 5, 2019).

Hägglund himself appeared here on June 21, 2014.

Philosophy professor Agnes Callard on giving advice:

"It’s as though right before I give the advice,
I push a button that sucks all the informational
content out of what I’m about to say, and
I end up saying basically nothing at all."
