Scene 2
***
A lush lineage,
leading leeward to levity amongst the listeners and performers (Quiz 13 for the early class;
Antigone, Op. 88: The Pride of Oedipus,
plus a new fantastic work by Jim Cea,
for the mid-day group;
as well as a visits to Joyce's class),
laterals
'cross campus for paperwork,
and
on
to
the City,
with assistance from Carol re the evening's energetic, enlightening entertainments. Composition page 11 Raising Messiah (an additional leaf for IV. He's a Barefoot, Tangled),
on the 59th day of summer, high 91
(same in Pleasant Hill), tying for the highest temperature of the year with April 27, second at 90+, 16th at 80-or-more,
high 84 in San Francisco). Ancestor III, supposedly manifesting Claude Debussyesque modal planing, is composed re Totem Variations, Op. 238, and even 239 is begun: Six Little Marys -- just a first page sketched as a collision of Lowell Mason's Little Lamb and Arnold Schoenberg's Op. 19. The rest of this latter will have to wait for now...
