For some unknown reason, the phrase, "intimations of mortality" has been rattling around in my head. I didn't know that Wordsworth has a famous poem called "Ode on Intimations of Immortality."
And I didn't know that there was a long profile of Allen Ginsberg called "Intimations of Mortality," either.
And I found both of these this morning.
And I hear Stephen King speaking on the radio about death and his new novel. There does seem to be a theme here...
