TRANSTRÖMER!!!
Nobel Prize in literature to Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer!! Not only am I excite because he's a Swede, there have been many years of hope for his sake... ÄNTLIGEN!!! ( <-- finally in Swedish. A word often used when Nobel prizes are announced.) New York Times on Tranströmer.
Announced by the Swedish Academy at 13:00 sharp (1 pm, always) by secretary Peter Englund (historian and writer).
It's more than joy when a Swede gets any kind of Nobel Prize. There is always the fear of being accused of improper advantage. So it is a double joy. :-)
But the day started sadly with the news of Steve Job's death. I took five minutes of my computing lesson today explaining to pupils why Jobs was important for us all.
As Tranströmer said:
In the middle of life it happens that death comes and measures man.
The visit is forgotten and life continues. But the suit is made, quietly.
