| I, too, dislike this narrator. He spirals in ways that are so irritating and floppy. He 'gets away' with shit that makes me seethe. He tries to witness things without actually being fully present. He is a smart white dude with too much time, too much ...more | |

| I kept thinking of Is a River Alive by Robert Macfarlane while reading this. (He makes the case that rivers 'live' like any other organism and need to be protected.) I've always been a little hesitant to agree with this approach without knowing why. ...more | |

| It only took me 45 years to truly appreciate Keats. At least I got there eventually. What I discovered was that my favorite parts of (young) TS Eliot were Keats impressions. | |
“Men deft men mental men of loving men all men
Vile men virtuous men same men from which men
Sweet and men of mercy men such making men said
Has each man that sees it
Cry as men to the men sensate
Conceptual recognition the men
And their poverty speaking to the men
Is about timeliness men is about
Previous palpability from which
The problematic politics adorable
And humble especially
Young men of sheepish privilege becoming
Sweet new style”

“For small erections may be finished by their first architects; grand ones, true ones, ever leave the copestone to posterity. God keep me from ever completing anything. This whole book is but a draught—nay, but the draught of a draught. Oh, Time, Strength, Cash, and Patience!”
