Phil Christman: “In a sufficiently torpid service — one in which the leaders are running on sheer willpower, as I often am simply in showing up — the ill-behaved kids can be the only sign of life. They are God’s simultaneous recognition of and dissent from our solemn boringness.”

You find some odd things in archives, for instance: an 8 June 1943 letter to Sayers from Marshall & Snelgrove, with whom DLS had left corsets to be repaired and “made smaller” — which suggests that she, like many Brits, lost weight during the war. Surely some of her favorite foods were rationed and therefore unavailable or available only in smaller quantities.
Oh right, people are talking about “our post-literate age” again.
The Maradona shrine in Naples is something to behold. ⚽️
