every day, one good thing

Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR

1/23: old and new

Today I had the pleasure of returning to Vergil's Aeneid, which I haven't taught in awhile but which I definitely enjoy. The happiness of meeting up with an old-friend-of-a-text was paired with the nice surprise of a new-to-me translation by Sarah Ruden, which moves really well. It's not as poetic as the Latin (in my opinion), but it feels very nice.
