Assez! Voilà donc ma vie brisée! . . .

Greg Nagy's presentation included selections from Powell and Pressburger's The Tales of Hoffmann (1951).

(Did I mention that Simon Goldhill's was about John William Waterhouse?)

Best. Conference. Ever.

(a) It . . . would probably have worked better if it had not been wildly abbreviated; I'm still want to read the paper in its entirety. If it does not attempt to engage on any musicological level, however, I will totally turn it over for you to shred.

(b) It could probably have footnoted Powell and Pressburger and I'd have been pleased. I keep having to explain them to people.

This is a mournful emoticon? Either that or it has amazing laugh lines.

(I fail ASCII.)

(great to see you though!!!!)

Yes! You, too! Are you ever in Boston?
