After the lights go out
For some reason, it has been extra hard to see this group of students move on and away for the summer. Even though I'll be seeing some of my favorites again in the fall. Oops, am I supposed to have favorites?
"I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."
