Examined my students on the Romantics. We spent an entire period on “Mont Blanc,” and of the papers I glanced at, not one of them identified the excerpt correctly. Planted a second red buckeye and a second persimmon.  Received my tax return. Refunds will just about cover the cost of doing the forms.

Gave Elliott a copy of Peniel. He brings it in with the first few poems underlined, notated, analyzed like a manuscript in the Trinity library. I smile even now.
