Jon quotes Adrienne Rich:

If you can read and understand this poem
send something back: a burning strand of hair
a still-warm, still-liquid drop of blood
a shell
thickened from being battered year on year
send something back.

Which is another reason why I like comments in my blog.

    What’s going wrong with your blog display, Jill? The right hand column stuff is progressively moving over to the left, obscuring the daily postings. I get the same on two independent installations so the problem, sorry challenge, appears to be with the blog itself. Presume there are no political implications. Would be great if you could fix it.

    It’s because a couple of the trackbacks are too long. I deleted one that had no title but a very, very long URL, and I think I need to delete Eirik’s one titled Bloggkommentardebatt too, because it’s too long…

    Safari for Mac displays it perfectly anyway, but I know it looks awful on most browsers. Sorry…
