At times the spirit moves one to attempt an explication of a poem, particularly a small one, and a famous one, because one can both grasp the whole and also be somewhat certain of the reader’s awareness, but if not, the poem, as below, is easily reproduced and quickly read. In a sense much of Williams is “snapshot”–that is, visually you can see it whole…

Placing Things
These trees! Rilke, Sonnet #1 of Sonnets to Orpheus A tree ascended there. Oh pure transendence! Oh Orpheus sings! Oh tall tree in the ear! And all things hushed. Yet even in that silence a new beginning, beckoning, change appeared. Creatures of stillness crowded from the bright unbound forest, out of their lairs and nests; and it was not from any dullness, not from fear,…
Minding What You Are About
More on this soon: I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me; had they duly consider’d how much depended upon what they were then doing;—that not only the production of a rational Being was concerned in it, but that possibly…

Audio: Walden “Economy” B
I’m not sure how to label these so I’ll just use the alphabet to keep them in order. This recording sounds different than the last (more tinny, big-roomy)–my production values aren’t my highest priority at present. So, to continue chapter one of Walden, “Economy”–here’s about 13 more minutes. Walden Economy-B When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end…
Against the Real Creationists
I just finished reading “The New Synthetic Biology: Who Gains?” by Richard Lewontin in the New York Review of Books. I believe this article makes clear that there are tremendous amounts of insight and ingenuity in the ways that humans try to be creators and fixers. Or rather, to create fixes for errors of human intervention in the world’s body. Humans (each of us) are…
