I did the right thing, didn't I?

In my mailbox today was a copy of the "Harvard Divinity Bulletin." Inside of that was a review article of Watchmen, written by a new comparative ethicist at HDS, Jonathan Schofer. It's worth a read (if anyone is reading this anymore, that is!).

When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer

by Walt Whitman

WHEN I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; 5
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

It Never Ends

So I suppose that we are continuing this blog? To be fair it is only David Field who is really doing any of the posting, but I think that this here will be fun to continue after school ends.
