The more I engage with Lucretius' De Rerum Natura in the Latin, the more I'm amazed at the brilliance and beauty of it. I am not skilled enough to articulate in English the emotions that this poem evokes. It is powerful.

Making some progress in Dissertating! (Yes "to dissertate" is a verb...)

This picture pretty well captures my current experience...complete with my daughter's water cup and wet-wipes in the background!

Still, I'm making progress through my openning chapter!

Dissertation chapter 1 is DONE!!

Well, the first draft (of likely a bunch)...I'll be giving it a thorough proofreading tomorrow.

Final length: 10,606 words (including footnotes).
I'm hoping to cut it down to closer to 8,000...
