Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City
“He delighted in writing, in the joinery and embellishment of his sentences, in the consciousness of high rare virtue when every word had been used in its purest and most precise sense, in the kitten games of syntax and rhetoric.”
Evelyn Waugh, Helena
Sorry I haven’t posted anything else today. Writing this week’s Wall Street Journal drama column took more out of me than I expected (as did the frenzied round of theatergoing in Chicago from which I returned only yesterday), and now I have to dress and head downtown to the West Village to see yet another play.
All I can say is that I haven’t forgotten you. In fact, I’m full of unwritten postings, and they’ll start spurting from my fingers as soon as I have an uninterrupted stretch of down time lasting more than ten minutes. Maybe tonight, depending on how long the play lasts. Maybe tomorrow morning.
At any rate, stay cool and watch this space for stuff.
