This one is for Brandon. I think this is actually pretty cool, like a Theme and Variations but in text only.

Caroline Bergvall: VIA (48 Dante Variations) is a compiled list of translations into English of Dante’s opening lines. As archived in the British Library up until May 2000. 700 years after the date set for the start of the journey into Hell. The Journey was timed to start and end in 1300. And Dante’s 35th year or so-called point of mid-life. Recorded and composed with Ciáran Maher (Summer 2000). The full text has been featured in CHAIN’s “Transluccinacion” issue (Autumn 2003).

This took place after Nicholas picked up Madeleine's toys in the back yard.

  • M: Thanks for getting my things. You were a super helper. Know what I'm going to give you?
  • N: A Viking? (Playmobil)
  • M: No, something even better. Loving! (she then kissed and hugged him.)

Here’s a conversation Nicholas and I had tonight about his school. He’s been in 2nd grade for about a week now. Note that you might want to turn down your speakers a little bit as it recorded kind of high. I tried to fix it for this but it might still be kind of loud. (Nicholas was holding the recorder and kept playing around with the wind guard on the microphone so that’s the swishy noise you hear.)

By turns our purity inspires and our impurity casts us down. He is blessed who is assured that the animal is dying out in him day by day, and the divine being established.
