There will be time

Two bits of info:

I. As of grades being posted, I have completed all of the graduate seminar requirements for my PhD in English.

II. I am celebrating by going to NYC this weekend. It is my first time. I have one goal: to test, or at least to feel, in the sense of sensibility, whether there is something true in what George Oppen offers here:

The emotions are engaged
Entering the city
As entering any city.

We are not coeval
With a locality
But we imagine others are,

We encounter them. Actually
A populace flows
Thru the city.

This is a language, therefore, of New York

--From Of Being Numerous
