PhillySound: new poetry

Ha-ha, Hassen. The July issue of Harper's has excerpted from Eric Hoffer's meticulous journal; it's a nice read. Hoffer's most well known work researches the impetus behind mass movements--I haven't read it. Mathematicians wrote recently that an electromagnetic field equation predicts frivolities in fashion, politics. I think the most beautiful element concerning those sheep, friendly animals, is that the plunge of the first safeguarded the fall of the last.

This from Barnett Newman: Aesthetics is for me like what ornithology must be like for the birds.
