From St. Cecilia’s Day 2013
"The impossible possible philosophers' man,
The man who has had the time to think enough,
The central man, the human globe, responsive
As a mirror with a voice, the man of glass,
Who in a million diamonds sums us up."
— Wallace Stevens, "Asides on the Oboe"

Crystal Day Poetizing
To the seven chapter epigraphs by T. S. Eliot in Cameron's

"You can ponder perpetual motion
Fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation
There's an ear for what you say"
— "Up Around the Bend" lyrics
(Quoted here on the feast of St. Francis, October 4, 2023.)

Para los Muertos
From Plato, Pegasus, and the Evening Star (11/11/99) :
|
"Nonbeing must in some sense be, otherwise what is it that there is not? This tangled doctrine might be nicknamed Plato's beard ; historically it has proved tough, frequently dulling the edge of Occam's razor…. I have dwelt at length on the inconvenience of putting up with it. It is time to think about taking steps."
"The Consul could feel his glance at Hugh becoming a cold look of hatred. Keeping his eyes fixed gimlet-like upon him he saw him as he had appeared that morning, smiling, the razor edge keen in sunlight. But now he was advancing as if to decapitate him." |

Poetizing Heidegger
"… things become relevant and thus meaningful insofar as they are 'poetized'
(gedichtet ) or configured within a framework."
— Pol Vandevelde, “Poetry (Dichtung )” in Cambridge Heidegger Lexicon,
ed. Mark Wrathall (Cambridge: Cambridge. University Press, 2021,
pp. 582-588)
