I think I managed to plan it so I don't even have to leave my room today. I can just sit here in my pajamas and study topology. And wait for the news: will we go to war tonight? I'm starting to feel that sort of generalised dread that one gets when she has a final in 24 hours and can't really bring herself to care because other things seem so much more important.
A Cool Web of Language
There's a cool web of language weaves us in,
Retreat from too much joy and too much fear:
We grow sea-green at least and coldly die
In brininess and volubility.
--Robert Graves
