A digital commonplace book, plus the occasional photograph of Virgil the basset hound.

  • Black on flat water past the jonquil lawns
    Riding, the black swan draws
    A private chaos warbling in its wake,
    Assuming, like a fourth dimension, splendor
    That calls the child with white ideas of swans
    Nearer to that green lake
    Where every paradox means wonder.

    James Merrill, “The Black Swan”
