Why does this look so incredibly appealing to me? I don’t think I want the world to end, but I am ready for a little more chaos and camaraderie than our society seems to be offering right now.

Page 40 of “The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher,” by Beatrix Potter:
Our dapper batrachian hero sits on his lily pad. He doesn’t see that beneath him a trout is rising. Its mouth is open, heading for Mr. Fisher’s dangling right leg. The submerged, predatory yellow eye rolls. You always have to take deep breaths before turning to this page. This is where you learn the vertigo of knowing something a protagonist doesn’t. For you, the tradition of the glimpsed numinous starts here. Later, there’ll be Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen, Francis Thompson, Gerard Manley Hopkins. For now, there are monsters underneath — the Devil, Quatermass’s pit, Lovecraft’s burrowing Dholes, “Jaws.” All of which, significant as they are, are only ever echoes of Mr. Fisher’s trout.

When I first met Sascha, he told me he went to school “in New Haven”. I can only assume he meant New Haven Community College.

What’s in the bag? I’m thinking it’s important papers having to do with the Jarndyce case.
