timeripple | no thoughts within her head but thoughts of joy/no dreams within her heart but dreams of love

9:20 pm. I have at last finished translating the Phaedrus, with considerable help from Rowe. Now all I have to do is survive tomorrow’s class, do all my reading for my presentation next week plus a whole lot more research, get over my tongue-tiedness long enough to hold down most of the three-hour seminar, and write 15-20 pages on the unity of the dialog (or lack thereof) due by December 15. I can do this.

And now for some light music...
“... for with Jo, brain developed earlier than heart, and she preferred imaginary heroes to real ones, because, when tired of them, the former could be shut up in the tin-kitchen till called for...” – Louisa May Alcott, Little Women, The Library of America, 2005, p. 344.

Needless to say, Jo is one of my childhood heroines.
