Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day is quotidian (it’s a word in the previous post).
I like the word quotidian. The word dailiness too. I associate both words with the poetry of the (so-called) New York School. “It is 12:20 in New York a Friday / three days after Bastille day, yes.”

ReplyDeleteTalk about synchronicity — thanks for pointing that out.
ReplyDeleteAngell’s essay bedampened my eyes too. It’s one of the most helpful things I’ve ever read about aging.
