"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain"
"It is well
That London, lair of sudden
Male and female darknesses,
Has broken her spell."
— D. H. Lawrence in a poem on a London blackout
during a bombing raid in 1917. See also today's previous
posts, Down Under and Howl.
Backstory— Recall, from history's nightmare on this date,
the Battle of Borodino and the second London Blitz.

"If any musician can look death in the eye and smile, it's California-based songwriter extraordinaire Warren Zevon."
From April 7, 2003:
April is Math Awareness Month.
This year's theme is "mathematics and art."
From an entry yesterday on looking death in the eye and smiling:
Such serenity "is indestructible and only increases with age and nearness to death. It is the secret of beauty and the real substance of all art."
From an entry earlier today on a circle of souls in the sun:
"they lovingly welcome two more into their company."
