“The textures of the world are an outline of the infinite. [Wallace] Stevens said, or at least I seem to remember that he said, the thing seen becomes the thing unseen. He also said that the reverse way was impossible. [Theodore] Roethke wrote that all finite things reveal infinitude. What we have, and all we will have, is here in the earthly paradise. How to wring music from it, how to squeeze light out of it, is, as it has always been, the only true question. I’d say that to love the visible things in the visible world is to love their apokatastatic outline in the invisible next.” 

— Charles Wright, from an interview by J.D. McClatchy “The Art of Poetry XLI,” Quarter Notes: Improvisations and Interviews (University of Michigan Press, 1995)

Headline Horizon: Tragic Collision Claims Lives on Florida's Skyway Bridge

In a harrowing incident, a high-speed chase ends in a devastating collision on the iconic Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg, Florida, leaving three individuals dead. Learn more about this heart-stopping event and its aftermath.

The crew of a massive container ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday warned of power issues before the collision, which caused the bridge to collapse into the frigid Patapsco River, officials said.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said the warning from the ship’s crew likely saved lives.

“We’re thankful that between the mayday and the collapse, that we had officials who were able to begin to stop the flow of traffic so more cars were not on the bridge,” Moore said. He called those officials heroes.

Moore noted that the bridge was up to code at the time of the collapse. He said the collapse was a “shocking and heartbreaking” event for the people of Maryland who have used the bridge for 47 years.

Listening to a podcast episode cuz it's talking about the history of one of our ridiculous bridges, specifically the bridge that pre-dated this one, which collapsed. Our response to this bridge collapse? Build a bridge so fucking big the boats have no risk of taking out the pillars:

We were genuinely like. Okay what if we make it tall and also put it on so so so so many supports
