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
3/30: better every time
The Homeric Hymn to Hermes wasn't a text I came to know and love in graduate school, but I teach it in my Myth course and over the years I've come to enjoy it so, so much. It wasn't love at first sight, and that's kind of nice as a reminder that sometimes good relationships (whether with people or texts) need to grow slowly. It's been a long day, but I'm so glad that I got to end it by reading this poem in preparation for tomorrow's class.
