All, I sit here in my rather warm apartment in Toronto and read the ASF list, the OOo lists, the so many other lists I subscribe to and all the other texts, in so many other languages; and I write letters, blog posts, and so on. (Even the CC minutes, to come; urgent matters took precedence.)
And then I came across the wonderful poem, How do I love thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and I thought: This is totally inappropriate for this list. And then I thought of one—really one of my favourites—by Wallace Stevens, that is to me always appropriate, a source of discussion, controversy, beauty.…. Anecdote of the Jar I placed a jar in Tennessee, And round it was, upon a hill. It made the slovenly wilderness Surround that hill. The wilderness rose up to it, And sprawled around, no longer wild.
