Found apples under a tree. While even in apple country (Germany, Seattle) all you find are the same old tired apples shipped throughout the world with numbers glued on them. I grabbed one last night & my host cleverly said, Watch out, it could be poisoned, like Schneewittchen's.

Using MS Word at the library. MS Word replaced 'la cuisson' with 'la caisson': MS Word continues to stink. Not even 'le caisson'

'Ply' again (τρόπος, on the other hand, seems to me a way of turning that can turn around 180°. Not a fold or a layering. Of course I'm influenced by the French pli, so perhaps I can be forgiven. Languages bleeding into one another).

Denby too, in his June 29, '26, essay discreetly endorses Wilson's 'complicated'; the longer I think about it, the more I'm inclined to like it. These days I think of English as a quickly shifting ensemble. Not a day without a new, hitherto unaccepted use of the word 'rupture'

Clever repetition of the word 'complicated'; we do ply, play, live in complicated, twisted, plaited, pleated, braided times.

The nor’easter lashing Nantucket with wind and rain this weekend has uncovered the remains of a shipwreck along the island’s south shore. The fragment is likely from the 19th century schooner Warren Sawyer, a wooden ship that wrecked near Miacomet Beach on December 22, 1884.

Nerval praising Ludwig I's love for painters. One of his painter friends was Georg(e) Dury, who became a Nashvillian after 1848. But Dury named his children with royal names -- not Liberté or Égalité. Hint hint.
