A remark from Claremont Review —
"'Once upon a time' used to be a gateway to
a land that was inviting precisely because
it was timeless, like the stories it introduced
and their ageless lessons about the human condition."

Claremont Review of Books, Summer 2006

Thomas Wolfe, On Time and the River* —
"The great river burned there in his vision
in that light of fading day and it was hung there
in that spell of silence and for ever, and it was
flowing on for ever, and it was stranger than a legend,
and as dark as time."

The post, on triangles and figurate geometry, has had some
minor image corrections, and these corrections have now
also been made in a new Zenodo version.
(Some aesthetic background: In the words of Alan D. Perlis,
that post concerns "a conception that embodies action and
the passing of time in the rigid and timeless structure of an
art form.")
"Alan Perlis also addresses the artist’s freezing of
time as he looks at As I Lay Dying. He sees Darl as
an artist-figure who catches “action in the tension
of stopped-time” (104). Both critics link Faulkner to
John Keats, whose poetry often seeks immortality,
like that of an object such as a Grecian urn or an
Ozymandian monument. Perlis sums this up, saying
that Faulkner 'is an idealist in the manner of a Keats
or a Wallace Stevens, who ponder the paradoxical
nature of a conception that embodies action and the
passing of time in the rigid and timeless structure of
an art form.' "
