Just found this on a former professor of mine. The one time I could have seen her was in Philadelphia, and I had not known about it, and I had not noticed it in the Key Reporter. She once tried to encourage me to study the classics, and I suppose eventually I did, but not rigorously or in a disciplined fashion. And certainly not in the source languages. Yet.

Except for my decaying, useless Latin. Except I never used it for the classics, even when I had it.

(mumble mumble) petals on a black bough...
