Better lock up your familial issues and not talk about things with your parents as we delve into possibly one of the worst fathers in Science-Fiction (at least this one has an excuse for emotional distance) as we talk about the most Vulcan of Vulcans, Spock (and Michael Burnham's and Sybok's) dad, Sarek. Is he well-meaning, or, as Miles believes, has definately eaten one of his own children like a Goya painting? Our first trip is to go Disco with ‘Lethe' as Michael Burnham discovers that her adopted dad has been offloading his guilt complexes onto her. Then in TOS' ‘Journey to Babel,' Kirk, McCoy and a whole bunch of alien delegates get caught between Spock and Sarek's personal drama and finally, in TNG's ‘Sarek,' Captain Picard faces a difficult choice with a man he so deeply admires and Patrick Stewart gets to indulge in ‘ACT-ING!'Live Long and Remember that a Family can just as much be a Found One as one you were Born into…Episodes Discussed: Lethe (07:12), Journey to Babel (31:39) and Sarek (58:00)Talking Points Include: The worst father's in Pop-Culture, Miles has been writing again HOORAY!, Charlie is playing A LOT of Super Mario Bros. Miles wants a ‘DISCO' shirt, CONTENT WARNING: Jokes on Baby Eatings, That weird thing with prequel shows when they talk about stuff that was a secret in the original show, Lorca is a shit, would Vulcans appreciate slapstick comedy? Fringe, how Miles' Britishness switches on a daily basis, we don't get enough Space Opera shows these days, an alien called Gav, We rate the strange aliens of ‘Journey into Babel' and how it might be one of the most Trek-like Trek episodes, does Wesley Crusher pull?, what is the slime for? Data pulling the ‘child upset his parents are fighting' trick with Picard and Riker, we don't get political… honest… Star Trek is apolitical, Picard wants more hijinks in his Diet, some actually good camera work in Trek.Pedant's Corner: Blatchington Mill is a High School in Brighton that Miles' mother definately felt was the runner-up to her wanting him to go to Dorothy Stringer (which he did)

"Discovery" is expanding the Bad Dad lore; we already knew Sarek wasn't great at the whole father thing, but when his adopted daughter dives into his subconscious in "Lethe", we find out he maybe gives Worf a run for his money. And in the B plot: an inappropriate Doctor/Patient relationship NOT involving Bashir! Also this week: judgy tech, Pokémon (somehow), and the multi-part conclusion!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 19, 2024 is: lethargic • luh-THAHR-jik • adjective Lethargic describes people who feel a lack of energy or a lack of interest in doing things. It is sometimes used figuratively, as in "a sluggish and lethargic economy." // The jet lag from their weeklong international honeymoon left them feeling lethargic for a few days. See the entry > Examples: "After igniting a somewhat lethargic, heat-exhausted audience in the fifth, [baseball player, Matt] Olson earned further cheers in the seventh as the Braves' onslaught continued." — Ginny Duffy, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 16 June 2024 Did you know? In Greek mythology, Lethe was the name of a river in the underworld that was also called "the River of Unmindfulness" or "the River of Forgetfulness." Legend held that when someone died, they were given a drink of water from the river Lethe to forget all about their past life. Eventually this act of forgetting came to be associated with feelings of sluggishness, inactivity, or indifference. The name of the river and the word lethargic, as well as the related noun lethargy, all come from lēthē, Greek for "forgetfulness."

Många själar har gått vilse i jakten på sanningen om Palmemordet. Kulturredaktionens Olof Åkerlund reflekterar över teorier som alltid saknar minst en pusselbit. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången 2021.1963 presenterade en trettiofemårig filosof vid namn Edmund Gettier ett par tankeexperiment som fick de akademiska korridorerna att skälva. Ett av dem löd ungefär så här: Personerna Mario och Luigi har båda sökt en tjänst som rörmokare. Mario har av skäl vi inte behöver gå in på mycket starka belägg för två saker:1) Det är inte han själv, utan Luigi, som kommer att få jobbetoch2) Luigi har tio mynt i sin ficka.Mario tror alltså, på goda grunder, att följande påstående är sant ”den som får jobbet har tio mynt i sin ficka”. Men så händer det, mot alla odds blir det ändå Mario som får tjänsten och även han råkar, utan att veta om det, ha exakt tio mynt i sin ficka. För den som är ovan vid den analytiska filosofins ibland lite krystade exempel är det kanske inte uppenbart varför Gettiers artikel väckte så starka reaktioner. Det beror på att den tycktes motbevisa en populär definition av begreppet kunskap som sann, grundad tro. Det var ju sant att personen som fick jobbet hade tio mynt i fickan. Mario trodde också att en person med tio mynt i fickan skulle få jobbet och han hade därtill en god grund, rent av bevis, för att så skulle ske. Ändå tar det emot att kalla hans sanna, grundade tro för kunskap. Den liknar mer en tillfällighet. Och filosofin tycktes, som så ofta, vara tillbaka på startpunkten: Trots 2400 år av grubblerier fanns det ännu ingen definition av något så grundläggande som kunskap att enas kring.Samma år som Gettiers artikel publicerades inträffade något som skulle påverka offentligheten betydligt mer än detta filosofiska dilemma: mordet på USA:s president John F Kennedy. Ett attentat som genererat undersökande och spekulativ litteratur av ett omfång som vida överstiger det om Gettierproblemet, bland annat en kritiserad rapport från 1979 där en undersökningskommitté i representanthuset menade att det troligen låg en konspiration bakom mordet. En åsikt som delas av en majoritet av USA:s invånare, medan minoriteten nöjer sig med den ensamme gärningsmannen Lee Harvey Oswald. I dessa poler gömmer sig två av människans djupa och motstridiga önskningar: Längtan efter mening och längtan efter avslut. En instabil ensamvarg utan klara motiv ger inte mening, diffusa sammansvärjningar utan bevisad koppling till brottsplatsen ger ingen känsla av avslut. Många själar har gått vilse i jakt på det ena eller andra.I konkurrens med dessa drivkrafter står vår längtan efter sanning och kunskap sig slätt, befarar jag. Det vi uppfattar som den bästa storyn vinner oftast. Det gäller för övrigt även inom filosofin, en disciplin som så gott som aldrig erbjuder avslut. Till exempel var Gettier var egentligen inte först med sitt dilemma. Det hade presenterats i olika varianter sedan medeltiden, men tajming och slagkraftighet gjorde att problemet sedan 1963 bär hans namn.Kanske var det längtan efter avslut som fick Stefan Löfven att 2016 offentligt torgföra sin med största sannolikhet felaktiga tro att den ensamme gärningsmannen Christer Pettersson var skyldig till mordet på Olof Palme. Storyn om det som kallats vår motsvarighet till Kennedymordet hade satt sig, det vore på många sätt besvärligt att hitta en ny.Inom kort kom dock en sådan. Och det var en i vissa avseenden så pass bra story att Löfven verkade beredd att ändra sig, lite grann åtminstone. Den handlade om Skandiamannen Stig Engström, som verkade ha trasslat in sig i vittnesutsagor som överdriver hans roll minuterna efter mordet. Det är väl åtminstone så de luttrade ser på saken, de som sett PKK-spår och Christer Pettersson-rättegångar komma och gå medan mer suspekta omständigheter och individer aldrig tycks ha blivit ordentligt utredda. Andra tycker att indicierna som förtjänstfullt togs fram i Lars Larssons och Thomas Petterssons böcker – och sedan adopterades av åklagaren – räcker för att tron på Stig Engström som gärningsman ska ha en grund.Sann, grundad tro. Definitionen av kunskap som Gettier problematiserade kan spåras tillbaka till Platon och särskilt hans dialog Theaitetos. Där det egentligen heter “Sann åsikt förenat med förklaring”. Men redan där inser huvudpersonen Sokrates att det inte riktigt håller. Kan man ha en riktigt pålitlig förklaring utan att förutsätta åtminstone någon gnutta kunskap? Och sanningen, kan vi lägga till, är inte det kriteriet nog så problematisk? I det svenska språket används sanning ofta som en ungefärlig synonym till ärlighet, motsatsen till lögn och förljugenhet, medan det i mer tekniska definitioner lätt blir en tårta ovanpå en annan: Att något är sant betyder att det liksom, tja, ligger till på det sättet. Platons ord för sanning – aletheia – har däremot mytiska proportioner. Det leder ner i underjorden till glömskans flod Lethe, men den lilla inledande bokstaven alfa gör ordet till en negation. Odoldhet eller icke-glömska skulle man kunna översätta det. Eller om man, likt filosofen Martin Heidegger, har en dragning till det omständliga: Oförborgadhet. För Platon är de sanningar som är värda att ta på riktigt allvar eviga och något våra odödliga själar en gång stått i förbindelse med. Våra kroppar, vår kultur och våra oprecisa sinnesförnimmelser bedrar oss däremot hela tiden, får oss att glömma det vi egentligen vet. Det gör det som vi vanligtvis kallar verkligheten till en dimmig plats fylld av glömska. Och vårt uppdrag: Att med stor möda återskapa det som glömts. Då blir sanningen inte något som slås fast med hjälp av opålitliga vittnesutsagor, utan något tidigare dolt som plötsligt visar sig och som mycket väl kan ha funnits framför våra ögon hela tiden. Lite som Stig Engström, som hela tiden fanns där: i tidningarna, på kvällsnyheterna – och på mordplatsen. Frågan är bara när och i vilken roll.Och det är väl så att sanningens betydelse är helt avhängig vad man frågar efter. Den polisiära och juridiska frågan om vem som höll i vapnet är kanske inte ointressant, men ändå bara en öppning för vidare frågor: Varför? Ensam eller i konspiration med någon?För även om det är intressant att som Gettier fundera över vad kunskap om ett faktum egentligen är, så är det ju hur allting hänger ihop vi verkligen vill veta. Vi, som törstar efter både mening och avslut.Så om vi någon gång får ett riktigt välgrundat svar på frågan om vem som mördade Olof Palme så kommer vi att ha en sanning men ingen kunskap. Eller kanske tvärtom: viss kunskap, men inte hela sanningen? Ja, vi kommer aldrig riktigt hela vägen fram tycks det – varken med sanningen eller med Palmemordet. Återstår alltså lögnen – och Palmeutredningen. För medan mordgåtan på många sätt står och stampar på samma plats den gjorde strax före halv tolv på kvällen den 28 februari 1986, så har envetna granskningar gjorda av personer som Stieg Larsson, Lars Borgnäs och Gunnar Wall satt ljuset på allt från misstag till lögner och nätverk inom polisen, högerextremismen, näringslivet och statens mer dolda sidor. Och så har det olösta mordet, som enligt vissa förändrade Sverige i grunden, blivit inte bara ett slukhål för vilsna själar utan också en skola för dem som likt Platons Sokrates är beredda att misstro de föregivna sanningarna och söka vidare under ytan. Lite icke-doldhet trots allt, i den bottenlösa glömskan.Olof Åkerlund, medarbetare på kulturredaktionenLitteraturPlaton: Theaitetos ur Skrifter, band 4. Översättning Jan Stolpe.

François RecanatiPhilosophie du langage et de l'espritCollège de FranceAnnée 2023-2024Colloque - Indexical Dynamics : Now and Then: The Dynamics of Self-Locating BeliefsColloque organisé par François Recanati, Professeur du Collège de France, chaire Philosophie du langage et de l'espritIntervenant(s)Matheus Valente, University of Barcelona (LOGOS) & University of ValenciaIt's often said within epistemology circles that self-locating beliefs about now and then change in peculiar ways incompatible with traditional Bayesian update rules, and so, that these beliefs are epistemically exceptional. The point is clear enough when we consider subjects who lose track of time - e.g. Rip van Winkle (Kaplan 1989) - and even clearer when some funny business with their memories are added to the equation, as in the famous story of Sleeping Beauty (Elga 2000). But that's like killing a fly with a bulldozer, after all, the dynamics of self-locating beliefs seems exceptional even when attention is restricted to idealised agents that are assumed to never forget any information nor to lose track of time. Such is the case of Chronos, an omniscient god in a deterministic world who not only knows the complete history of her universe but is never uncertain about what time it is. Since Chronos is de dicto omniscient, her beliefs are always entirely concentrated on one possible world. Since she's self-locating omniscient, her self-locating beliefs are, at any given time, concentrated on a single temporal location. Though Chronos is never uncertain about anything, it appears that she must be constantly shifting her self-locating beliefs just to keep up with time: when the present time is n, she believes 'now is n', a moment later when it's n+1, she instead believes 'now is n+1' etc. To use Evans' (1982) metaphor, self-locating beliefs seem to require us to run to keep still. Call the peculiar type of dynamics that even omniscient gods must subject their self-locating beliefs to Shifting (Arntzenius 2003; Bradley (2011) calls it 'Belief Mutation'; Recanati (2016) calls it 'conversion').To account for Shifting we need to explain why Chronos knows at n that she'll believe 'now is n+1' at n+1 but still refrains from presently believing it. In other words, we need to explain why self- locating beliefs violate van Frassen's (1984) Reflection Principle which holds that we ought to defer to our future selves as experts (under the assumption that their epistemic standing is at least as good as our current one). One way to do so favoured by the majority of epistemologist is to countenance tensed propositions whose truth-values change with time (Titelbaum 2013, p. 171-278). Another way is to hold that the passage of time changes what times/events subjects are acquainted with, which then changes which de re beliefs they can hold at each time. The first camp holds that self-locating beliefs are epistemically special because their truth is tensed. The second camp holds that they so are because their accessibility is tensed. Given how easily this argument seems to roll off the tongue, one wonders whether the last decade of debates with sceptics like Cappelen & Dever (2013) and Magidor (2015) would have taken a different shape if more focus had been given to self-locating beliefs involving instead of to de se beliefs involving 'I'.But there's an issue. Some epistemologists hold that Shifting is a particularly type of sterile belief update: when the only change in a subject's belief across times is due to Shifting, it's never rational for that subject to revise her de dicto beliefs. As Titelbaum (2013, 233) remarks, it's intuitive that "finding oneself passing through the world in exactly the way one was certain one was going to shouldn't change one's opinions about what that world is like". This suggests a different view where Shifting is not taken to be a type of belief change but instead of belief retention, a view which Prosser (2005) calls 'the Frege-Evans dynamic theory'. On that approach, Chronos never changes any of her beliefs, and the permutations of indexicals which arise in virtue of the passage of time - now 'now', then 'then' - are really just ways of expressing a single persisting dynamic belief. If the Frege-Evans dynamic theory is tenable, we'd lose one important reason to think that self-locating beliefs are epistemically exceptional. This is so because, as I'll argue, the only puzzling cases that they would still give rise to would be ones where subjects' epistemic states become deteriorated across time due to cognitive mishaps like failures of memory or of one's tracking/discriminatory capacities. Since nobody doubts that weird things happen when our cognitive powers deteriorate, the problem of cognitive dynamics turns out to pertain less about self-locating beliefs per se than about the unsurprising fact that cognitively deteriorated subjects are epistemically exceptional. If the Frege-Evans dynamic view can be upheld would thus have significant implications. Whether this can be done ultimately depends on what we should say about the interplay between self- location and rational action. Consider a temporal variant of Perry's famous bear attack case: Chronos intends to whistle once at all odd times and twice at all even times. Since Chronos acts differently as time passes, it seems that we must conclude that doxastic states coordinated by nothing but Shifting really change. Can the Frege-Evans dynamic view accommodate the fact that a single persisting dynamic belief might lead to distinct actions at distinct times? My main objective in this talk is to motivate an affirmative answer. My hypothesis is that rational "changes" due only to Shifting are just as questionably a real type of change as corresponding "changes" in self-locating beliefs, and so, that the Frege-Evans dynamic view can be applied to the realm of reasons, intentions, and decision theory, just as well as it can be applied to the realm of belief and confirmation. The outcome is that when a subject's epistemic state changes only by Shifting, both their beliefs and their reasons/intentions can be said to remain stable regardless of their distinct (respective) linguistic and practical manifestations. To cash this out, I first defuse a set of cases which have taken some to think that Shifting can by itself require a revision of de dicto beliefs (Arntzenius' (2003) Prisoner, Elga's (2000) Sleeping Beauty, Shaw's (2019) forgetful god Lethe, and Topey's (forthcoming) hypoxia-affected Aisha), and argue that Shifting isn't the culprit of these cases' peculiar features. Then, I'll draw a parallel between the Frege-Evans dynamic view and recent work in the philosophy of action which holds that the distinction between intentions for the future and intentions for the present is ill-motivated (McDowell 2011, Brozzo 2021). These two philosophical debates bear promising structural analogies that have only recently started to be acknowledged. I'll deploy this analogy to argue that (1) the Frege-Evans dynamic view allows us to demystify the cognitive dynamics of self-locating beliefs, and so, that the epistemic exceptionality of self-locating beliefs must reside elsewhere (if it resides anywhere at all) and (2) that this view's credentials can be defended by showing how it fits with an independently plausible picture of how rational agents act on the basis of intentions formed at times prior to the action's execution.

Chris, Paul, and Jordan wax philosophical this week as we break down "Mayham", a hilarious and deeply rich episode with some of the series' finest moments of writing. The Kevin Finnerty sequence continues, as the world of the North Jersey mob spins out of control without Tony. No one is able to step up to the plate, and Vito and Paulie are playing a dangerous game with the boss' money. Meanwhile, things disintegrate for Carmela on the homefront as her stress and anguish cause her to lash out at AJ. Plus we break down the breathtaking final ten minutes of the episode in detail and Jordan gives a tremendous academic analysis of what it all means!

The Prayerbooks of Lethe is a dangerous tome. It contains the knowledge of an obscure cult, the Drowners of Lethe, connected to dozens of murders and disappearances in the last century. The book has surfaced in the listing of an estate auction. Three agents are sent to the estate to retrieve the Prayerbooks before the auction is held.

What if the river of our memories ran deeper than we ever imagined? Could the waters of Lethe flow within us, carrying away the echoes of past lives, leaving us with a clean slate for each new beginning? What might we discover if we could access the archives of our soul's journey? Imagine a world where our DNA holds secrets planted by ancient civilizations, or where children's innocent minds touch upon wisdom from lives long past. Join us as we unravel these mysteries and ponder the profound implications they hold for our understanding of existence.

Welcome to all free spirits, wanderers, madmen and godless anti-metaphysicians! It is high time to drink from the waters of Lethe, and forget all that came before in this podcast. Today, we embark on a new phase of our voyage of inquiry, concerning Nietzsche's views on the origins of self-consciousness. We'll consider his remarks on memory and forgetfulness, found in his early essay Use and Abuse of History for Life, in the second essay of Genealogy of Morality, as well as some passages in Human, All Too Human & Wanderer and His Shadow. The expansion of self-consciousness is linked with punishment, revenge, debt, and the demands of civilization upon mankind. Episode art: Gustave Dore - The River of Lethe

Doomsong is a Roleplay Macabre set in a world on the cusp of a Biblical apocalypse. The dead are being turned away at the gates of Heall, giving them no choice but to return to the world above. You must subdue them, no matter how they feel about this arrangement. Inspired by medieval folkhorror, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and European mythologies, these two beautiful hardback books are filled with artwork by the incomparable Moritz Krebs. Doomsong: Lord Have Mercy Upon Us puts tense horror at the heart of everything it does, giving GMs and party members alike an unforgettable experience. It is a system that prioritises player choice: will you brave the horrors of combat, parley obscene enemies into tenuous allies, or employ profane powers to twist the world about you? No choice is without risk, and you must weigh your strengths against the frailty of your mortal frame. In Doomsong, you play as gravediggers, members of the oldest guild in Painyme. Your organisation accepts anyone: highborn and low, from those skilled in swordsmanship to the very dregs of society. Creating a gravedigger is simple. You start by discovering your character's Origin—the social strata into which you were born—and then proceed by following the Life Paths that appear before you. Along the way, you make hard choices and suffer the whims of fate. Lord Have Mercy Upon Us is a full campaign full of story hooks, including 3 main storylines that span an entire map and countless smaller encounters, interesting characters, dangerous creatures and mysterious locations. Half a lifetime ago, the borderkingdom of Lethe vanished overnight, stolen by a blasphemous entity of untold power: Father Plague, Lamentide of Pestilence. It has long been foretold that the coming of Pestilence will mark the beginning of the End Times. So it has come to pass.

Sind wir als Gesellschaft in den Fluss „Lethe“ gestiegen? In der griechischen Mythologie ist das der Fluss des Vergessens. Wer in ihn steigt oder von seinem Wasser trinkt, vergisst.

We are tackling a sequel for the first time on the podcast this week, because who can deny the world a trip to Hell with Leigh Bardugo. It's time to head back to Yale and fall in love with Alex and Darlington all over again. If they make it out alive, that is… There will be spoilers for book one, ‘Ninth House', in this week's episode and the information below so please tread carefully if you haven't finished the books yet. Wealth. Power. Murder. Magic. Alex Stern is back and the Ivy League is going straight to hell.Find a gateway to the underworld. Steal a soul out of hell. A simple plan, except people who make this particular journey rarely come back. But Galaxy "Alex" Stern is determined to break Darlington out of purgatory?even if it costs her a future at Lethe and at Yale.Forbidden from attempting a rescue, Alex and Dawes can't call on the Ninth House for help, so they assemble a team of dubious allies to save the gentleman of Lethe. Together, they will have to navigate a maze of arcane texts and bizarre artifacts to uncover the societies' most closely guarded secrets, and break every rule doing it. But when faculty members begin to die off, Alex knows these aren't just accidents. Something deadly is at work in New Haven, and if she is going to survive, she'll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university's very walls.Thick with history and packed with Bardugo's signature twists, Hell Bent brings to life an intricate world full of magic, violence, and all too real monsters. We are both so excited to be back talking about this world and characters again. We deemed ‘Ninth House' as dark academia, but will ‘Hell Bent' follow suit? In this episode we discuss: - The colonial history and system issues of the Ivy League - Power, privilege and the trappings of class and socioeconomic status - Several ‘Gilmore Girls' tangents…

The principal river in the Greek underworld (also called Hades). The river forms a border between the underworld and the world of the living.  The word means HATE in Greek and is named after the goddess, Styx.   The other major rivers include the Acheron (river of pain), the Lethe (river of forgetfulness), the Phlegethon […] The post USA = Human Sacrifice Zone* FACTS are FACTS.

Can a dark academia author recognize the names of demons? Can she tell us what really goes on behind closed doors in a secret society? Today, we're talking with Leigh Bardugo about her experience at Yale, the way hell is portrayed in her newest novel, and why demons and failed companies have eerily similar-sounding names. Hell Bent is the epic follow-up to Ninth House. Alex Stern thinks one can just casually go to hell and bring friends back, but the journey is a lot darker and more dangerous than she realized. This attempted rescue could cost her a future at Lethe and at Yale, and if she is going to survive, she'll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university's very walls.Get Hell Bent at bookofthemonth.com.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 17, 2022 is: oblivion • uh-BLIV-ee-un • noun Oblivion can refer to the state of something that is not remembered, used, or thought about any more, or to the state of being unconscious or unaware. It also sometimes refers to the state of being destroyed. // Like so many pagers of the 1990s, landline phones seem to be headed for oblivion. // After being awake for three days straight, he longed for the oblivion of sleep. // The sandcastles of summer had long since been swept into oblivion by the ocean waves. See the entry > Examples: “I'm not the only one who's been complaining lately that our art museums seem to have lost their nerve. In Artforum last year, for instance, [author] Alex Kitnick lamented that ‘the dream of the avant-garde museum ... has vanished into historical oblivion.'” — Barry Schwabsky, The Nation, 12 Oct. 2022 Did you know? Oblivion asks forgetfulness of us in both its meaning and etymology. The word's Latin source, oblīvīscī, means “to forget; to put out of mind,” and since its 14th century adoption into English, oblivion has hewed close to meanings having to do with forgetting. The word has also long had an association with the River Lethe, which according to Greek myth flowed through the Underworld and caused anyone who drank its water to forget their past; 17th century poet John Milton wrote about “Lethe the River of Oblivion” in Paradise Lost. The adjective oblivious (“lacking remembrance, memory, or mindful attention”) followed oblivion a century later, but not into oblivion—both words have proved obdurate against the erosive currents of time.

In this episode we find Aeneas getting closer to a reunion with Dad and maybe even an exit from this Hotel California. But, as we've seen throughout this epic, there's no gain without a healthy dollop of pain. First, there's a horribly awkward rendezvous with a departed Dido who goes all Ajax on Aeneas and ghosts him (literally!) Then we get a glimpse of Tartarus and hear the wretched cries of the damned under the whip of Tisiphone. Finally, the Blissful Groves and a veritable Who's Who of who slew, made it through just to drink Lethe's brew (whew!) All this plus a wrestling Jacob, Tolkien, and a jittery Dave steeling himself for another parade. Don't miss it.

In this eighth season of The Well Read Poem, we are reading six poems about birds. Since antiquity, birds have supplied rich material to poets, being by turns regal, charming, absurd, delicate, dangerous, and philosophical creatures. This season is dedicated to the animal lovers in our audience, particularly to Emily Raible who suggested the subject in the first place. Today's poem is "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats. Poem begins at timestamp 2:23. "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains          My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains          One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,          But being too happy in thine happiness,—                 That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees                         In some melodious plot          Of beechen green, and shadows numberless,                 Singest of summer in full-throated ease.   O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been          Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green,          Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! O for a beaker full of the warm South,          Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,                 With beaded bubbles winking at the brim,                         And purple-stained mouth;          That I might drink, and leave the world unseen,                 And with thee fade away into the forest dim:   Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget          What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret          Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs,          Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;                 Where but to think is to be full of sorrow                         And leaden-eyed despairs,          Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,                 Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.   Away! away! for I will fly to thee,          Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, But on the viewless wings of Poesy,          Though the dull brain perplexes and retards: Already with thee! tender is the night,          And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne,                 Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays;                         But here there is no light,          Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown                 Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways.   I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,          Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet          Wherewith the seasonable month endows The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild;          White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine;                 Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves;                         And mid-May's eldest child,          The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine,                 The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.   Darkling I listen; and, for many a time          I have been half in love with easeful Death, Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme,          To take into the air my quiet breath;                 Now more than ever seems it rich to die,          To cease upon the midnight with no pain,                 While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad                         In such an ecstasy!          Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain—                    To thy high requiem become a sod.   Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!          No hungry generations tread thee down; The voice I hear this passing night was heard          In ancient days by emperor and clown: Perhaps the self-same song that found a path          Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,                 She stood in tears amid the alien corn;                         The same that oft-times hath          Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam                 Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.   Forlorn! the very word is like a bell          To toll me back from thee to my sole self! Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well          As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf. Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades          Past the near meadows, over the still stream,                 Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep                         In the next valley-glades:          Was it a vision, or a waking dream?                 Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?
