The Romantics

Peeting, reading (Bernhard), playing with a nonsense line on Schleiermacher. When I thumbed through my Kindle Library it was not-so-surprisingly bare re S. I did find a slender sampling of the German Romantics, however, and I latched on to this bit (gleaned from the little I read on an essay about them, written by _________________), which became my mantra for the morning's walk: And reality is not as transparent as the Enlightenment assumed it to be; existence divided by reason leaves a remainder, as Goethe had put it.

Peeting vs. Peeting

According to Urban Dictionary , Anthony Burgess gets first coinage: in Nadsat  peeting means "drinking." Dim, Georgie, and I were peeting the old moloko at the Korova Milkbar. * I'm not planting my flag anywhere, but certainly I've given it the meaning: "going to Peets," "stopping in at Peets," "breakfasting at Peets," etc. I'll be peeting tomorrow around 5:30.
