Cool -- I have a new masthead. And thanks to John Fenderson's expert tutelage I didn't render the rest of the blog into an unintelligible slurry of eye-jarring fonts and mismatched text-blocks in the process!

The masthead was created by Zindra. She debated between creating something sleekly high-tech or something eerie and xenomorphic; the latter won out, and I couldn't be happier with the result.

  1. Nice mast head Mac, here is some poetry to match it.

    A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
    by Edgar Allan Poe
    (1827)

    Take this kiss upon the brow!
    And, in parting from you now,
    Thus much let me avow-
    You are not wrong, who deem
    That my days have been a dream;
    Yet if hope has flown away
    In a night, or in a day,
    In a vision, or in none,
    Is it therefore the less gone?
    All that we see or seem
    Is but a dream within a dream.
    I stand amid the roar
    Of a surf-tormented shore,
    And I hold within my hand
    Grains of the golden sand-
    How few! yet how they creep
    Through my fingers to the deep,
    While I weep- while I weep!
    O God! can I not grasp
    Them with a tighter clasp?
    O God! can I not save
    One from the pitiless wave?
    Is all that we see or seem
    But a dream within a dream?
