Terra Albaster

Such a sublime snow outside. Such creates a great relief to our imperfections. My favorite quote from yesterday was reading a review of Bellow's Letters and the reviewer referred to the author as, "a manic jew who swallowed a library." I have spent considerable time recently surveying my imagined Semitic roots. It is a small comfort, but one I hold close.

Yes, I am still in the depths of the "now, what" hangover after finishing Ulysses and two other fine books. I read a good 20 pages of Colum Mccann this morning and found it resonant, which is nearly a surprise.I haven't found the muster for Henry James and stare helplessly as my wife continues her mad trek ahead.
