It bears repeating: "And you, whom I cannot save, ย  you may open a door and enter ย  a meadow or a eulogy. And if the latter, you will be ย  mourned, then buried in rhetoric." -Matthew Olzmann, from "Letter Beginning with Two Lines by Czeslaw Milosz" tinyurl.com/yvajywur

Hello, this is Avigail, Oriโ€™s eldest daughter. Iโ€™m sorry to tell you that my dad passed away tonight, after a long battle with colon cancer. He was 50 years old.

Ori will be missed. ๐Ÿ’” He was deeply thoughtful and decent, not only here online but in person as well.

It's my best friend's birthday. She's a beautiful human being, and I'd give a kidney to live near her again.

I've loved Anne Carson's work for many years. I was actually pretty delighted when some English grad students at Princeton were skeptical, one of them asking how he was supposed to "grasp" her poetry because "it gives you nothing to hold on to." AC on holding and not holding:
