Literature. See my comments on my Weblog: http://www.esztersblog.com .

Today's quote:
The same poem segment as last week but a preferred translation:
"...
and, going to school, on the sidewalk's edge along the way,
I stepped on a stone, I did, so as not to recite that day -
here: see this stone, from up there? try as you might, you can't;
to show all this fine detail - there is no such instrument."
-- Miklos Radnoti, written in 1944 a few months before his death
