He glosses over the customization and safety features that make Bluesky an appealing place to be, but I share his concerns over some of the behaviors are endemic (though hopefully waning) here.

"You alone, Terminus the Mentor, can teach us how to alter our gestures. God of walls, doors and reticence, nemesis overtakes the sacrilegious technocrat, but blessed is the City which thanks You for giving us games and grammar and metres"

And sing your praises, sacred Terminus: ‘You set bounds to peoples, cities, great kingdoms: Without you every field would be disputed. You curry no favour: you aren’t bribed with gold, Guarding the land entrusted to you in good faith. --Ovid, Fasti (translated by A.S. Kline)

Blessings of Terminus to you all. On this day of Terminalia, may you assert your boundaries, define who you are and end what no longer serves you. Honey and wine for the gatepost, in honour of he who will not yield.

The poet Thom Gunn's words should taunt/haunt every writer: "He died, and I admired the crisp vehemence of a lifetime reduced to half a foot of shelf space."

Was Gerald Murnane influenced by George Borrow beyond admiring his style? In "Romany Rye", the narrator discusses Hungarian history at length with a Hungarian to whom he has just sold a horse. Hungary looms large in "Inland", and Murnane taught himself Hungarian. Co-incidence?

“When we walked through town, I asked Father […] who owned this or that house and why it was so big, why, at another house, were there always two windows set beside each other, and why, at yet another house, were there two stone men holding up the cornice of the front door.” -Stifter (tr. Spencer)

"Virtues of Silence" Silence is worship without exertion, an adornment without jewels, authority without a ruler, a fortress without a wall, freedom from making excuses, an adornment for scholars and refuge for the ignorant — and a chance for the angels who record our deeds to take a break.

The drift of day into the litany of a long dark night. Not yet the stippling of stars. Instead the fire blazes. The fire flickers. The fire slowly fades. The air ringing with whispers of wind and rain. A song that meets your tattered breath with a persistent chill.

I have just discovered the work of George Shiras (1859-1942). Born in Pennsylvania, he studied law & then moved into politics. In the 1870s, he became fascinated with the wildlife on the Michigan side of Lake Superior. For 70 years he photographed this part of the world (1)

Alban Berg took this photo of Schönberg, Erwin Stein, and Anton Webern in 1914. Would give anything to be in the air, overhearing the waves and words and silences in this moment.
