"the flower flown once forever dies"
I'm back a little early. Sad to leave Acton, but I could smell the shit from Quincy stinking and it's gotta be cleaned up. There's stuff I need to do and stuff I want to do in and around this area before classes start, though I'll be bouncing back and forth between here and there during the semester.
Read and relaxed great deal. Whitman, Donne, a lot of Emerson and Thoreau, The Rubaiyat about a million times, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and after having meant to for ages I finally read Faust (English translation with German pages next to it) There was more, but those are my favorites. Took up adding to my quote book again, which I like to read through from time to time.
Wrote a moderate amount here and there, though I wasn't forcing myself to do that or anything else. All I asked myself to do was let myself relax, purge out some of the sadness that'd been eating away at me. Quiet sunrises are good for the heart.
The new kitten is a total psycho. As I type this she's trying to murder my owl plushie. Dan named her Jappa, but my nickname for the kitty is Menelaos cause when she pounces she always lets loose a shriek that sounds like a war cry.
Well. Off to get caught up with the state of the world, and begin the process of getting my shit together.
