Cake. . . arrrggghhh

[qos]

My daughter pushed the pirate figures in deep to keep them from toppling over.

A few minutes later, there was a crevasse in the cake.

*sigh*

QoS: "Um....Um, not a problem--just a place to put more chocolate frosting?" she said hopefully.

This is totally unrelated to the current pirate cake post, but I couldn't wait to share:

I'm writing a paper on Balzac (and his animalized representations of the main characters in Eugénie Grandet, in case you are curious) and in my secondary sources I am constantly running into references about how he was influenced greatly by the writings of certain religious figures. The two most often mentioned are Saint-Martin and Swedenborg. Example:

En relisant les oeuvres si extraordinaries des écrivains mystiques qui se sont occupés des sciences dans leurs relations avec l'infini, tels que Swedenborg...

(In re-reading the extraordinary workds of mystical writers who are occupied with the sciences in their relationship with the inifinite, such as Swedenborg...")

Makes me think of you.

Thanks for letting me know about this.

It's always interesting to me how many influential writers Swedenborg influenced, even though he isn't well known today.

And btw: I really get a kick out of your new icon.
