From mothers' lullabies
to the news story read by the anchorman
being able to overcome deceit at the heart, in the book, on the street,
to understand, my love, is such a bliss
to understand all that is proceeding and forthcoming.

Nazım Hikmet, 1946
I do have millions of pages to read, which means this is prime time for translation exercises. (Can I have my Eliot book back?). Nazım Hikmet is especially worth checking out today, I know you want to procrastinate on that paper. Anyways, happy May 1st to workers and others who care about their rights, and I wish my people as little pepper gas as possible on this beautiful day.
