Square in your ship's path are Sirens, crying
beauty to bewitch men coasting by;
woe to the innocent who hears that sound!
He will not see his lady nor his children
in joy, crowding about him, home from sea;
the Sirens will sing his mind away
on their sweet meadow lolling. There are bones
of dead men rotting in a pile beside them
and flayed skins shrivel around the spot.
Steer wide;
keep well to seaward; plug your oarsmen's ears
with beeswax kneaded soft; none of the rest
should hear that song.
But if you wish to listen,
let the men tie you in the lugger, hand
and foot, back to the mast, lashed to the mast,
so you may hear those harpies' thrilling voices;
shout as you will, begging to be untied,
your crew must only twist more line around you
and keep their stroke up, till the singers fade. (Book 12, 41-58)

"Contrast to that of Oedipus, Kate Moss did not defeat a Sphinx. She did not save the land and people of Thebes from a great monster. She did however, like that of Oedipus, have courage. "



and that is what happens when you start doing your homework at 4AM.

I used to collect bottle caps when I was about seven years old. My thinking was that if one day I had enough of these metallic bottle caps I could assemble a time machine. But what prompts a seven year old to fantasize about another time? I've been told that collecting is a uniquely human trait. Nothing else on earth collects things that serve no function other than the fact that it is in fact part of a collection. Perhaps humans’ organizational traits are hardwired to collect things. And humans just want to see how everything fits together. How everything belongs with something else. Or perhaps human collect things to show accomplishment. Or to trace their past. Or to please their desire to learn. Or possibly to show off for others. I gave up collecting bottle caps. I threw them out when I was about fourteen or so.


Nowadays I collect other things. Things that should not be collected. Particularly because these things are not mine to collect. I wish I had that time machine.
