School and Be Schooled

All together now:
                      
    
   “allow, Therefore, that  in the planetary scene
    Your disaffected flagellants, well-stuffed,
    Smacking their muzzy bellies in parade,
    Proud of such novelties of the sublime,  
    Such tink and tank and tunk-a-tunk-tunk,
    May, merely may, madame, whip from themselves
    A jovial hullabaloo among the spheres.
    This will make widows wince.
    But fictive things  Wink as they will.
    Wink most when widows wince.
                   (to a High-Toned Old Christian Woman
                               Wallace Stevens)

Just on my hall: a Phenomenologist,
Modern Colonialist, Creative Non-
Fictionalist, Playwright & Gothic-ist,
Poet, Grammarian & Rhetorician,
Administrator, Hagiographist,  Coyote
Documentarian and Ornithologist.,
Mao Apologist… All that surface
difference & yet each one: a critical
thinker, and that’s just one  floor in Jensen:  
 
critical thinkers  
critical-thinking
critically.like
anything.

An Environmental Issue: creating a moral matrix
of the kind where what might be inconceivable in
one environment is felt among the scholars as a
piece of cake & de rigorous  in another.
