Where the wailing of a baby meets the footsteps of the dead

Our room looks like the Classics Library exploded and then a dormitory moved in to colonize the wreckage. yuki_onna, grailquestion, godlyperspectiv, and I are all sharing space, and the amount of technology in this single hotel room is staggering. We've got cellphones, laptops, iPods, coffee makers . . . I think we're creating a kind of post-student singularity here. If we don't all collapse into total bohemia by Monday night, I'll be very worried.

I think I have the complete works of Greg Nagy piled underneath the fold-out suitcase thing. And a lot of Homeric epic. This mixes uneasily with E.T.A. Hoffmann. If I let them reproduce, I will have hexametric Kreisleriana.

On second thought . . .

Anathema! Anathema! Retro me, transposition!
