		<description><![CDATA[In contrast to yesterday&#8217;s post, the 2006 New Attitude conference was very good.  Especially beneficial has been the breakout sessions.  Dave Harvey&#8217;s session on The Summons was very good.  I found this poem he recited about an hour into the talk to be very&#8230; moving.

I have been reading Dante, so

		<description><![CDATA[This fallen world affects all creatures,
Saint and sinner, with the bread
Of hard affliction—mournful soul-ache,
Unjust judgment, creeping dread.
But the God of all creation
Has engineered a hidden path
Wherein the sweetest, purest pleasures
In affliction may be had.
The wise are found in those dark mine shafts
Sifting ore from worthless slag,
While the torrents of life&#8217;s hardships
Fall like oil upon their [...]]]></description>

  Latina mortua lingua est,
Ut mortua potest esse:
Necavit omnes Romanos,
Atque necat me!

(Latin is a dead language,
Dead as it can be:
It killed off all the Romans,
And now it&#8217;s killing me!)



The rumors of my death, unfortunately, have not been so greatly exaggerated as one could have wished.  As you may recall, I was offered a [...]]]></description>

In particular, he criticized the poetry recommended by Karsten Piper.  I protest that I was not at the center of the storm – I said to myself, “I will not say anything,” but at last the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just learned (via Orson Scott Card) that the National Endowment of the Arts is suffering a remarkable renewal.  It seems that, since 2001, the head of the NEA has been a businessman and a professional poet who has never been positioned on the authoritarian side of the professor&#8217;s podium, a man named Dana [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anthony Esolen, who often makes me wish I had gone to college in Rhode Island, has posted a fascinating poem by George Herbert on Mere Comments.  I say fascinating because it is deliciously profound and yet&#8230;  Well, I can&#8217;t read it.  It doesn&#8217;t &#8220;scan,&#8221; as they used to say.

Oh get up, little baby, off that light machine.
Please change your color, baby: Go back to white from yellow gold.
‘Cause till you pale up, baby, you’re awfully hard to hold.

Little David Ebenezer is six days old today.  Tomorrow will make a week.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To write Christian music, particularly worship music, requires two things:  A good musician and a good knowledge of scripture.  The best Christian music will have the highest levels of both.  The trouble, of course, is getting them both together.  A good theologian, but a poor musician, will create good theological texts, [...]]]></description>
