I put a notice on the sidebar of this page a while back just to tell people that new content has not been added here recently. At this point, though, it also seems highly unlikely to me that this site will ever have new content. Thus, although what is online here now will remain here, visitors should not expect new content to begin again. Anyone wishing to contact me through this site can still do so through the link on the right. Thank you.

The quotes have been one of my favorite things to put up here, and there is a great quote from the Song of Songs that was brought to mind recently when I noticed it in the Liturgy of the Hours. (Among many reasons that the Liturgy of the Hours is great is the fact that one is regularly exposed to memorable Scripture passages that one would otherwise probably read or hear rarely, if ever.) So one last quote here, from Song of Songs 8:6-7.

For stern as death is love,
relentless as the nether world is devotion;
its flames are a blazing fire.
Deep waters cannot quench love,
nor floods sweep it away.
Were one to offer all he owns to purchase love,
he would be roundly mocked.
