Darkness lingers in his poem like nature in Frost's



Most poems have three paras.

The biscuit dome

If we didnt have gravity
the odor of things
would come in spheres

Anthology



Fossil of race.
A fossil is
a diary of times past
Bones are remains, the essence
that time leaves for later

Eggheads
The poem feel likes  the poet is talking about himself when he is so acquainted with the ways of eggheads at the end of first para.
I take your T-short to bed again starts in one place and ends in another
bowl of foreign coins - chokecherry heart
Mascon
Epithalamium

In every myth theres a secret. Something to think about when you read mythology.

Stories

Class of the Titans. I like how the characters switch back and forth into modern times and ancient mythical time.

Thomas and Friends. For the first time I watched this. Episode of rescuing Hero, the oldest train that fell into disuse. Now you dont have to wonder why the trains get delayed, when they do.

Sleeping beauties. New tales see the day of light.

Heard of Percy Jackson from a colleague.

Creative business cards

Creativeenvironments has a very creative business card with a fold showing a landscape idea in black and white indicating the design on the left inside, and a picture of the real landscape on the right.
Looking at some cool Business cards.
Fruit Salad Tree

Like Ruby Ridge



Guggenheim and mining
Placer mining
Mining claim
Saw off shotgun

The author is a raconteur. He plays the omniscient and fills in the gaps of history of both the main character and the place McCarthy. Each chapter starts with a picture, some introducing new characters into the story. The author has remained impartial by showing how Pap Pilgrim was perceived by his supporters and opposers. The town talking through the newspaper is funny. The alternating chapters of Papa pilgrim's previous life and present show the divide in him appriopriately.
The blurb takes a very Piped Piper of Hamlin take at Papa pilgrim and so does the town initially. But wish the book had a rating indicative of the abuse, but then I would have missed reading a good author's work.

History melieu



Pergamon as the intersection of Greek and Roman cultures.
The Golden Ass collection of tales.
When the book says Hadrian is a Roman emperor, I wonder whats Hadrian's Wall doing in Britain.
Asclepius was treated as a god. I think now I understand the Concept of hero. The Pergamon citizens believed that god spoke to them in dreams. In many Indian mythologies, gods appear to their devotees in their dreams suggesting ways for offerings.
Anatomical Terracotta votive
first gladiators at funerals
Galen doctor to gladiators

The immortals of Meluha is a look at Lord Shiva as a mortal.

Its all about the measurement
