I saw Urbania, then Smoke, tonight, for my New York City literature class. The ordering of the films was important: Urbania is much, much darker than Smoke, and would have made a bad ending to the night.

My presentation, on Petrarchan love, went quite well. I think; at the time, I felt like the professor was hastily correcting my numerous mistakes, but apparently everyone feels like that. One can always hope.

From another corner comes more writing, this time for 2300AD: information on Freihafen, and an entirely new write-up on Neubayern. Thanks to redroach!

Sir Thomas Wyatt, "They flee from me"

They flee from me that soemtime did me seek
With naked foot stalking in my chamber
I have seen them gentle, tame and meek
That now are wild and do not remember
That sometime they put themselves in danger
To take bread at my hand; and now they range
Busily seeking with a continual change.

Thanked by fortune, it has been otherwise
Twenty times better; but once in special,
In thine array after a pleasant gyse,
When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall,
And she me caught in her arms long and small;
Therewithall sweetly did me kiss,
And softly said, dear heart, how like you this?

It was no dream: I lay broad awake.
But all is turned through my gentleness
Into a strange fashion of forsaking;
And I have leave to go of her goodness,
And she also to use new fangleness.
But since that I so kindly am served,
I would fain know what she has deserved.
