Nineteenth-century American astronomer Maria Mitchell once said,

“We have a hunger of the mind, which asks for knowledge of all around us, and the more we gain, the more is our desire; the more we see, the more we are capable of seeing.”

That said, I don't want to write this frigging paper about a chapter in my Wagner book. I mean, really. Here's what I vote my response should be: Yes, I read it. It was oppressively long and encumbered with needless details. My mind is supersaturated, and I've lost my will to live, but I am, in fact, capable of class discussion. The end.

ps--
The opera is "Gianni Schicchi" by Puccini. Check it out. And, if you're free on the first weekend of December, take a little drive to come see the show--it's free! (not to mention a delight.)
