This is way too long to put in a Twitter thread, so in the interest of readability, I am blogging it. On or around August 10th, I will be taking a semi-hiatus from Twitter until 2020 for six reasons.

The Cosmos — Void — Night — Radiance
I. O God, I have no laurel for a crown. The dust of dried leaves lies at my feet in this library whose volumes are countless.
