[Photo Journal] Notes on my way to the Grave of Karl Schwarzschild
My previous visit to the Göttingen City Cemetery was on the second of October, four months ago. I guess this is poised to become a tradition. Though, as this essay hopefully makes clear, future trips are unlikely to generate new essays or photo journals.

[Lux] #ThatWanakaTree, Day to Night
Finally.
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
Walt Whitman
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
