Omg, what a tour de force this post was -- from Isis' water transport to sunshine at 42-degree angles to the eternities that at least put our current Situation in some perspective. (Did a rainbow inspire MLK's reference to the slow bending of the arc of justice?) But I'll focus here on only one detail, involving the "ferny banks of Blow-Me-Down" mentioned in the script for the 1905 masque. To me, this otherwise obscure reference recalled a beautiful spot by that name on the coast of western Newfoundland that I stumbled across some years ago. Maybe MacKaye had been there too.
Any way we can get an urnful of water from the Styx to our president and his minions? Imagine the bliss of a year of silence.
The same exact wish, immediately came to me aso! 🤭🎉
I'd volunteer to carry urns ... oh for that bliss!
Ahhh, for pails and pails of Isis water to be consumed by this Administration! Rainbows all around.
Calling all volunteers for the Bucket Brigade!

... oh, for that arc of the moral universe ... may it hasten in its bending! And how delightful that you knew Blow-Me-Down. I found this which you might enjoy: https://geographicaljourneys.wordpress.com/2021/05/31/blow-me-down-newfoundland/
