And I'm back

Sorry that Spring Break for Mode came a little early this week. It wasn't intentional, but I got snowed by stuff to do. Looking around the neighborhood, I see I'm not alone.

"I wish to be a spokesman of the doubt that the great difficulties of our time can be solved by violence." Wendell Berry

"I enjoy the quietude of soliloquizing and communing with the spirit of history. This spirit is ... brotherly, akin to us in another and deeper sense than are the denizens of bush and field. These exertions are like Jacob's wrestling -- a sure gain for the wrestler himself. Indeed this is what matters first of all." Count Yorck von Wartenburg

"Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame."
W. H. Auden
From "September 1, 1939"
