Aspect of the Stormy Daniels story I hadn’t considered — that it gives more credibility to the 2013-Trump in Russia-prostitutes story.

“Shakespeare himself may have found it disturbing. He set out, it seems, to write a straightforward comedy, borrowed from Giovanni Fiorentino’s novella “Il Pecorone” (“The Big Sheep”), only to find himself increasingly drawn into the soul of the despised other. Shylock came perilously close to wrecking the comic structure of the play, a structure that Shakespeare only barely rescued by making the moneylender disappear for good at the end of the fourth act.”…. Stephen Greenblatt, New Yorker

“All along he had seen what was happening to him; and yet held by convention he had refused to act always, because somehow he was not hard enough to act. He was not strong enough, that was the real truth — had not been.”(Theodore Drieser, Free.)

related to the foregoing, to what extent are Elizabeth W. and Reefy’s other dark haired girl versions of the same? Elizabeth Willard has two expressions of her restlessness (a love of the stage, sexual activity) somewhat like the dark haired heiress has two main choices for suitors (representative of wealth/ sexual activity)

Trying to sort out the order of events in the two stories “Paper Pills” and “Death” from Winesburg.

Dr. Reefy is forty five when he begins his courtship with the dark haired girl.

He is described at that time as having a jaded grey horse.

At the beginning of “Paper Pills”, we are told that now Dr. Reefy is an old man with a white beard, but that long before he drove a jaded white horse from house to house, then later he married the girl with the dark hair and money.

I had thought that Reefy’s grey horse had turned white but it must be his white horse that has turned grey or else two different horses, both jaded.

In “Death”, Dr. Reefy’s beard is described as grey, but he doesn’t have it yet; he has a brown mustache at this point.

(Perhaps this is just random but, in the two stories involving him, there is an odd transposition at play, in that Dr. Reefy’s beard and horse are both described as having been both white and grey.)

Reefy is described, during his relationship with Elizabeth as being in “middle age”, which must be some years before he turned 45, when his relationship with the girl with dark hair occurred. (His relationship with Elizabeth preceded that with the girl with the dark hair.)

Elizabeth is described as being a “a tired, gaunt old woman at 41” when she has the decisive moment with Dr. Reefy, when Dr. Reefy observes the youthful force within her, a few months after which she dies.

Elizabeth died when George Willard was 18, and began seeing Dr. Reefy when George Willard was “12 or 14,” so she must have herself been in her mid to late thirties. (The implication is that she was 23 when she gave birth to Geoege Willard.)

“Paper Pills” takes us from the present day, when Reefy is 55, back ten years to when he married the heiress at 45. We don’t know anything about the period of Reefy’s life between his affair with Elizabeth and his marriage to the heiress.

Curiosity: do we have enough information to determine the age of George Willard at the time “Paper Pills” begins? Say Reefy was 30-35 during his relationship with Elizabeth, then George Williard (18 at the time of her death) would be 38 at the time Dr. Reefy has a large white beard at 55. That is close to the age Anderson would have been when writing these stories (Born 1876, Winesburg written over 1915-16.)

And this morning, the thing that I like about it: by giving that definition of greatness, it means that everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love. And you can be that servant. [*]
