the harrowing of hell

"A powerful class, by terror, rhetoric, and sentimentality may drive their people to war,
but the day draws near when they cannot keep them there..."


W.B. Yeats, 1922






























This film got me thinking about the hopeless stupidity of occupation, and the tenacity of empire.

The painting is an alterpiece by a German or Netherlandish artist, ca. 1600, at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.

flaming lips cover bohemian rhapsody @ the SXSW Music Fest.

The Flips are a marvel on their albums and a miracle live. Here they do Queen's mad glam masterpiece. What a sublime combination.

wedding rehearsal










Peter asked me to do the prayer at his wedding. Last night was the rehearsal dinner; I told him, I think I'm becoming a deist.

He said, Oh no you don't. No deism till after 4 pm tomorrow.
