St. Thomas Aquinas is introducing his motley crew: Albertus Magnus, Boethius, etc. What a gang!

Through purgatory! On my way to heaven!!!

Chapter VI

Four more chapters to go.

Through Hell and in Purgatory: through the gates of St. Peter. Lifted up through the flames by an eagle with wings of gold, Lucia.

Satan, the three headed beast! They are through the Inferno and headed into Purgatory.

Chapter 7! My kids are enjoying this.

Eighth Circle of Hell, Sixth Purse: Dante weeping over the judgment of God and the distortion of the boiling sinners is a tragedy not a comedy!

On chapter 6! My kids are loving it. The strange Russian man has just come to town.

Through the first chapter; reading this with my 9 year old daughter before she begins 4th grade!

Canto XIII: Seventh circle of Hell, second level, the violence to self. Many are boiling in blood and Dante is, well, quite horrified.

Reading this to my Grammar II children in literature class: A real joy!

Canto IX, fourth circle of Hell. Dante has met Virgil and seen the poets and philosopher and have passed over the River Styx. Things are getting...bleak.

Beginning Part IV: Prison

Capital is intertwined with the disciplinary techniques and vice-versa. The disciplines are an infra-law, as it were, and permeate the underbelly of society through economical, political, and juridical arenas.

Finishing Foucault this month and discussing it with my philosophy group. Finishing up Holderlin whereupon I will write a brief essay on his poetry. Thence, I am going to read another Byung-Chul Han book and Fitzgerald's last novel "The Last Tycoon." Upon completion, I am going to begin Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, Dante's Inferno, and Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. 3/5/26

On the Panopticon

Patmos
"Nah ist
Und schwer zu fassen der Gott
Wo aber Gefahr ist, wächst
Das Rettende auch"
