In 1948, a decade and a world war later, the remains of the poet were identified and returned to County Sligo with great fanfare. To this day, the location of Yeats’ final resting place is uncertain.

William Butler Yeats died in the Hôtel Idéal Séjour in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on this day in 1939. His remains were interred in the local churchyard, and later disinterred and mixed with others in the church ossuary.

I used to cook this at least weekly for a very long time. I still do a variation of it (substituting edamame for the broccoli).

Fencing update: bronze today. A bit miffed I didn’t get silver, partly because I could’ve won my last bout, but mostly because I’ve never won a silver medal before.

On this day in 1771, Dorothy Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, which is fun to say.

This Wordsworth biography starting with a Preface and not a Prelude is a real missed opportunity.

an exerpt from an article from Little White Lies:

"For a blockbuster with such lofty ideals, where Godzilla’s sex plays no essential part in the story, it makes just as much sense for its sex to remain ambiguous, much like it did in Toho’s Shin Godzilla from 2016. That film presented a creature that evolved before our eyes, adapting to its environment and enemies to become an ultimate, indestructible organism, one that transcended the unnecessary constraint of gender."

Good work only begets more work.

I wouldn’t say it was overly emotional. More witty writerly observations pinned loosely to a semi-fictional narrative. I think I chose well.

A+ customer service. I liked it — helpful to have her actual voice in my head post-reading, like an imaginary audiobook.
