I never have any idea what Podly is talking about and his avatar frightens me.
I understand him fine.
And that is the reason I am afraid.
ooooone of ussssssssss
Also, I've had weird productivity these last few weeks. For a few hours, I am super-productive, and then for a few hours I can't do anything intellectually challenging. I've fallen soooo far behind on my translating, because if I schedule Greek in a slot where I'm unproductive, I get like three verses done. Ugh.

What does "inscribed" mean in geometry? If something is inscribed in a triangle, it means that all the sides touch the perimeter of the circle, correct?

There's a pencil by my lab workstation. I have no idea how it got here. It's not mine, and I pretty much never use pencils. I'm getting creeped out right now.

Does it have teeth marks on it? If so, you're being stalked. You should post a thread in H/A then call the authorities.

You mean if a circle were inscribed in a triangle? Then yea each side of the triangle would be tangent to the circle and the circle would be inside the triangle.

It’s the cocaine.
In a sense, you might be right. I've been drinking waaay too much coffee lately, because I can only get like 5-6 hours of sleep a night.

It means that the inside shape is as big as it can be without going outside the bounding figure.

Well, I was thinking a triangle inside a circle, but yeah, same idea.
Man, there are people who get two or three doctorates without having read a non-technical book beyond "See Spot Run".
As for me, I just have trashy taste and therefore am remiss in reading classics. For instance, I've still never read "Ulysses". It's actually honestly good, correct? Like, people aren't just pulling my leg so I'll plow through a couple hundred pages of stream-of-consciousness?

Yes, most definitely. You have to put in a LOT of work though, to get something out of it. The thing is, being a good reader is like being good at math: you have to put in a lot of grunt work to tackle the big problems. For some reason, when it comes to language skills, people like to think that they are somehow equal to everyone else, and see no reason why everything should not be accessible to them.
You should. His lyric poetry is some of the best modern poetry there is. Pick up a book called Personae. It's fantastic.
I've jotted the name down and I'll try to remember it when the semester is up, but I make no promises.
That's the problem with being an English major, it's hard to find the time or desire to read during the semester with so much assigned as it is.
This is definitely true.

Erat Hora
by Ezra Pound (1885-1972)
"Thank you, whatever comes." And then she turned
And, as the ray of sun on hanging flowers
Fades when the wind hath lifted them aside,
Went swiftly from me. Nay, whatever comes
One hour was sunlit and the most high gods
May not make boast of any better thing
Than to have watched that hour as it passed.
job fairz
i kinda think i look nice in a suit
even though i do not like wearing a suit
As long as you aren't barrel chested, most men look great in a suit. I fucking kill in a suit, because I have a good frame for it. I have just enough muscle so that I look masculine, but slim enough so that I look trim and svelt.
Now if I could just have there be actual muscle when I took off the suit :P

@Yami: Don't all the angles of the interior figure have to be touching (tangential?) to the exterior figure?
The intersections are usually tangent but not necessarily so. One example would be a right triangle inscribed in a square, the two "legs" of the triangle will be coincident with two sides of the square.

I feel like there’s supposed to be more to the poem than just the nice sentimental image.
I like it for it's metrical achievements. The trochaic (stress on the first beat) substitution of "Fades" and the long accent of "Passed" are perfect examples of metrical mimesis. It's also about the poet's unique ability to place himself in the moment/eternity, which Pound is considering as Godlike.

I may start on that then, I've been running out of other works. Plus, recently finishing "We" has made me more interested in figuring out authorial intent and allusions to other works rather than simply absorbing.

Read A Portrait of the Author as a Young Man first. It's a prerequisite.

It is a rather beautiful poem. I knew something was up metrically, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I'm kind of stuck in iambic pentameter mode right now from all the sonnets I am reading for one of my classes.

I just don't know/care much about philosophy.

Apparently I just haven't gotten around to any of Pound's works.
