Great poem. Happy birthday!

Trump’s unauthorized demolition of the East Wing is arguably the worst damage to our White House since British troops set the structure ablaze in 1814. I wouldn’t be surprised if this Quisling-in-Chief levels the entire property.

I've always liked Roy Campbell's translations. Especially fond of his versions of Baudelaire.

Thinking of you, Fliss, and wishing you the best of health!

I no longer suffer from migraines, but the memory of what this music did for me thirty years ago intensifies my feeling for it now.

I love them, too. Studied them in college, without real effect, but in my 40s, when most afflicted by migraines (primarily just the terrible pain; I experienced the related eye-show once only), I tried listening to these chants, desperate. And this practice actually helped.

Thank you, Maryann.

Thank you, Fliss!!!
