  We can also learn that Amy is the John Madden of the poetry thread list! Nice play-by-play. Back to the topic at hand -- Cormac McCarthy -- love the quote. Very apropos.

    There are many other ways of seeing it, for ex.: that Joseph is a demanding and respectable academic, that Suzanne Baran is not only a computer programmer but also working on a huge project, we also learned a new word: "..." the meaning of which is "break and manipulate;" we also came to know a new member, hello! And that Finnegan is a car man (no horses for him, :-))

    by this I am not saying that Bob is not guilty, ...

    continuing with my Cormac McCarthy:

    He understood what the priest could not. That what we seek is the worthy adversary. For we strike out to fall flailing through demons of wire and crepe and we long for something of substance to oppose us. Something to contain us or to stay our hand. Otherwise there were no boundaries to our own being and we too must extend our claims until we lose all definition. Until we must be swallowed up at last by the very void to which we wished to stand opposed.

      I think Suzanne is correct here. Bob (inadvertently) started this whole row by misattributing the quote appended to her original email. She said she wasn't under the spell of and cult and we should take that at face value.
      Something said got Joe on his high horse, which he mounted with a fucking flying bound.
      Note: Bob Grumman is always to blame. At least on this list.

  "Who is truly great? I hope you can develop the ability to discern true human greatness. A great person is someone who forges unity among human beings through sincere dialogue, armed with a solid philosophy, feet firmly planted on the ground. A great person is one who lives among the people and earns their unshakable trust. Fickle popularity and temporary fads are nothing but illusions."
