και οταν αγωσιν υμας παραδιδοντες, μη προμεριμνατε τι λαλησητε, αλλ’ ο εαν δοθη υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τουτο λαλειτε · ου γαρ εστε υμεις οι λαλουντες αλλα το πνευμα το αγιον.
προμεριμνατε < προμνεριναω, worry ahead of time.
And when they lead you to be handed over, do not prepare what you will say, but speak that which is given to you in that hour; for it will not be you that speaks but the holy spirit.

Raskolnikov lives in a state of mind in which nothing is quite real and everything is hypothetical. Completely abstracted from his surroundings, he has long been “so completely absorbed in himself” that he has fallen into extreme slovenliness. He spends his time dreaming of theories and what it would be like to commit a crime based on them. Strictly speaking, it is not crime that fascinates him, but the possibility of it. The possible is what is most real to him….Gary Saul Morson

Prediction that the non-standard English of the computer and the non-standard English of Modern English poetry will at some point meet like the French and Saxon languages. (Very unlikely.)
(That computer language and English will meet to form (i) an already existing human language that is about to become extinct (ii) a complex math we can all understand.) Not likely.
Idea that courage, though the word is archaic in feel, involves display whereas cowardice, also with an unintended overtone, involves the incapacity or reluctance to display.
(And how fantasy is a kind of obverse of display…. Is fantasy a sort of being disiplayed inside oneself? Not likely)
…avoir beau,I’m told, meanwhile, is a French expression
All branches of learning have thus been so much enlarged that he who would “do something” has to pursue no more than one subject and disregard all others. In his own subject he will then, it is true, be superior to the vulgar; but in all else he will belong to it. If we add to this that neglect of the ancient languages, which is now-a-days on the increase and is doing away with all general education in the humanities—for a mere smattering of Latin and Greek is of no use—we shall come to have men of learning who outside their own subject display an ignorance truly bovine.… On Men of Learning, Arthur Schopenhauer.

Proust: Parfois l’écriture où je déchiffrais les mensonges d’Albertine, sans être idéographique, avait simplement besoin d’être lue à rebours ; c’est ainsi que ce soir elle m’avait lancé d’un air négligent ce message destiné à passer presque inaperçu : « Il serait possible que j’aille demain chez les Verdurin, je ne sais pas du tout si j’irai, je n’en ai guère envie. » Anagramme enfantin de cet aveu : « J’irai demain chez les Verdurin, c’est absolument certain, car j’y attache une extrême importance. » Cette hésitation apparente signifiait une volonté arrêtée et avait pour but de diminuer l’importance de la visite tout en me l’annonçant. Albertine employait toujours le ton dubitatif pour les résolutions irrévocables.”
Scott Moncrieff: Sometimes the script from which I deciphered Albertine’s falsehoods, without being ideographic needed simply to be read backwards; so this evening she had flung at me in a careless tone the message, intended to pass almost unheeded: “It is possible that I may go tomorrow to the Verdurins’, I don’t in the least know whether I shall go, I don’t really want to.” A childish anagram of the admission: “I shall go tomorrow to the Verdurins’, it is absolutely certain, for I attach the utmost importance to the visit.” This apparent hesitation indicated a resolute decision and was intended to diminish the importance of the visit while warning me of it. Albertine always adopted a dubitative tone for irrevocable decisions.”
Goropius theorized that Antwerpian Brabantic, spoken in the region between the Scheldt and Meuse Rivers, was the original language spoken in Paradise. Goropius believed that the most ancient language on Earth would be the simplest language, and that the simplest language would contain mostly short words. Since Brabantic has a higher number of short words than do Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, Goropius reasoned that it was the older language.…Johannes Goropius Becanus
A friend, recently attending a lecture by Emily Wilson, took along my copy of her Odyssey translation, which she inscribed very graciously with a variation on these lines from Book 15 (124-125):
δῶρόν τοι καὶ ἐγώ, τέκνον φίλε, τοῦτο δίδωμι,
μνῆμ᾽ Ἑλένης χειρῶν,

Lov’d son, this gift to thee, the monument

The idea of calling the human race Gender. The idea that the human race is comprised of just one gender. The question of, if that’s a sort of gender neutral way of saying that we’re all ‘brothers and sisters’? The question of, if humans were indeed understood to be of one gender, what would be the fate of sexual attraction. The idea I was walking around yesterday, in a warmth that I considered to be unnatural and out of season, and periodically a cool breeze would hit oneself like an intimation of how the weather once had been and still (it was thought) should now be; “pockets of the past floating about” was a phrase on that subject that had been thought (of the old nature and winter and its scents)
Meanwhile, frantic activity in the afternoon of the suburban neighborhood, hammers, leafblowers, ladders, saws, trucks, the ripped out interiors of perfectly liveable, perfectly nice dwellings on the curbsides, as if a recently destroyed area were being rebuilt, as if the war, the category 5 hurricane, had only recently been declared over. However, this was an area perfectly intact; indeed, an impartial observer might see very little need for any construction or maintenance at all at this time.
… The idea that Climate Change is not a “Man against Nature” issue but a person against person issue — (an “income inequality” issue.)
Pythia 4, 272 — 274:
ῥᾴδιον μὲν γὰρ πόλιν σεῖσαι καὶ ἀφαυροτέροις:
ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ χώρας αὖτις ἕσσαι δυσπαλὲς δὴ γίγνεται, ἐξαπίνας
εἰ μὴ θεὸς ἁγεμόνεσσι κυβερνατὴρ γένηται.
Steven Willet: “It’s easy for the almost impotent/ to shake a city; / to set it back in place again / is grinding conflict,/ unless a god will suddenly/ become a steersman for its leaders.”
