The Pond Seeker: October 2008
http://pondseeker.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond. Friday, October 24, 2008. Vanity gives way to fun and curiosity. Bear with me here. I'm setting the scene for my investigation into the context of Carissimi's "Vanitas Vanitatum II". At the beginning of the third rehearsal Pat spoke about the text of the vanitas pieces. It seemed to him that Carissimi had used the absolute worst aspects of Ecclesiastes. From the April, 1981 issue of Music and Letters. It's all well a...

The Pond Seeker: Hijacking Ecclesiastes
http://pondseeker.blogspot.com/2008/12/hijacking-ecclesiastes.html
Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond. Sunday, December 21, 2008. This is a continuation of my investigation of Carissimi's "Vanitas vanitatum II". You may want to read the previous two entries first. Here's the translation of the verses near the end of the piece that seemed incongruous. Scepters, crowns, power,. Pomp, triumphs, victories,. Honors, ornament, glories,. Toys, delights,. Ostentation, riches;. All is vanity and shadow. The founders of cities?

The Pond Seeker: February 2008
http://pondseeker.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond. Friday, February 29, 2008. Philip II and Victor von Doom. Of The Fantastic Four. Fought their future selves, and this is all part of preserving the time stream! Eventually the fighting subsides as the present-day FF learn the truth. Here's the conversation between Ben Grimm, the future Doom, Sue Richards, and the future Reed Richards. To prevent Reed's madness from destroying the future. And it's all Richards's fault.

The Pond Seeker: Jefferson taken out of context
http://pondseeker.blogspot.com/2010/11/jefferson-taken-out-of-context.html
Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond. Friday, November 26, 2010. Jefferson taken out of context. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots. If there's a better example of a radical populist notion being used exclusively by conservative hawks, I'm not aware of it. Page 241 of Thomas Jefferson: an intimate history. As an anarcho-capitalist, Id like a little revolution now and then, to overthrow our overly large gove...

The Pond Seeker: The Milkmaid at the Met
http://pondseeker.blogspot.com/2009/10/milkmaid-at-met.html
Do not seek illumination unless you seek it as a man whose hair is on fire seeks a pond. Saturday, October 10, 2009. The Milkmaid at the Met. When I visited the Rijksmuseum. When I got the e-mail from the Met about a month ago I was so excited that I was almost jumping out of my chair. I was going to get to see her again - in New York! Then I realized that Grace's parents, who would be visiting on Columbus Day weekend, would probably love to see it with me. I was right. We went to see the exhibit. Every ...
