Emeritus Professor of Literature with interest in relations between the visual arts, music, and literature. Special interests include Mahler, Berlioz, Mozart, Shostakovich, the English painter Turner, others. I follow postings by my former students.
I encourage a close reading of Timothy Snyder's analysis of the horrific recent meeting with President Zelensky in the oval office.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.

Owl just outside our bedroom as we drew the shades early yesterday morning. For me, a sign of our times. Emerging from a blending with the background, a powerful potential for action. We must be vigilant, smart, effective.

Beautiful snow and light effects with the extreme cold in Massachusetts.
