About Nothing

"For the listener, who listens in the snow, 
And, nothing himself, beholds 
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is."

Wallace Stevens

Erica Goode in the online New York Times  tonight

"Irving Gottesman, a pioneer in the field of behavioral genetics
whose work on the role of heredity in schizophrenia helped
transform the way people thought about the origins of serious
mental illness, died on June 29 at his home in Edina, Minn., a
suburb of Minneapolis. He was 85.

His wife, Carol, said he died while taking an afternoon nap.
Although Dr. Gottesman had some health problems, she said,
his death was unexpected, and several of his colleagues said
they received emails from him earlier that day."

A note from noon (EDT) on that day, June 29, for the Church of Synchronology

A detail from the page mentioned in the June 29 post above —

A passage related to the word "soul" discussed by Sullivan —

See as well a related biblical passage, better known at the time of Royce (ca. 1892)
than today, that would probably mean nothing to the late Dr. Gottesman.
