happy John Dee's birthday
Jul. 13th, 2007 01:29 pmutopyr has prodded me to ask where the post celebrating John Dee's 480th birthday is, so here it is, forthwith. I should go ahead and commemorate Sunday's 115th birthday of Walter Benjamin while I am at it.
My belated reading of Engine Summer has stung Ron Drummond to an eloquent post in defense of a text that needed no defending, but this is something that will have to be dealt with in a Philosophy of Literary Composition post that I had as soon not inflict upon anyone else. I would prefer to be celebrating his magisterial editorial accomplishments, but anything that bestirs Ron Drummond to produce LJ posts is not entirely misguided. He, like his heroes, has better venues for his serious reflections.
it is Friday the 13th, big time. I am pleased that the nature of the calendar will prevent October's 700th anniversary of the suppression of the Templars (the original Friday the 13th, according to some) from falling on a Friday.
