"...but the old names are there, somewhere in time, and the mountains were shaped and seen under those names. No matter how we touch Mars, we'll never touch it. And we'll get mad at it, and we'll rip the skin off, and change it to fit ourselves. We'll call the canal the Rockefeller Canal and the mountain King George Mountain and the sea the Dupont Sea, and it won't ever be right, when there are the proper names..."" — Nov 19, 2020 11:28AM

""He raised hia head, and I felt the sudden chill on my hand, where the ancient scar showed white as bone. A letter 'J', cut in the skin, his mark on me.
He laid his hand against my face, and I pressed it there with my own, as though I could feel the faded "C" he bore on his own palm, against the cold skinof my cheek. Neither of us spoke, but the pledge was made, as we had made it once before..."" — Sep 19, 2020 11:07AM

""The C sharp minor waltz, same opus [op. 64], is the most poetic of all. The veiled melancholy of the first theme has seldom been excelled by the composer. It is a fascinating lyric sorrow [...] A space of clear skies, warmer, more consoling winds are in the D flat interlude; but the spirit of unrest soon returns. The elegiac note is unmistakable in this veritable soul dance."" — Aug 05, 2020 01:25AM
