Before
this,
a
moony,
fog-
dispersing
declination
southwest,
along
margins
of
sun
and
shade in the steely wind (74th day of summer, high again up 2 to 75);
and
after,
a
stimulating
return,
only
to
reverse
course
again
for
the
last
session with the
History group, with their Exam,
reviewing Medieval through Modern -- again thank yous, and a notable ensemble!
