[Milton-L] another sad news

[Kemmer Anderson]

Byung-Eun, I have just spent time helping Hyunkee Kim outline and 
prepare a paper on the death of Patroclus.

I remember hearing Professor Shitaka's paper on Saturday morning in 
Grenoble and the conversation with John Shawcross and Richard 
DuRocher after his paper on Paradise Regained and how to fit Samson 
in my curriculum as well as the Son's stand. What amazes me is the 
connectivity we have in this profession that all leads back beyond 
what we write and learn from each other and how it connects to our 
students who grow into the men and women of their calling. We are 
truly graced to be called to this profession and to have such a 
beacon as Milton and his mentors Homer and Virgil that we may attempt 
to carry light into the darkness. Thanks to all who have taught me 
how this blind poet is a hero as we all engage in the process of 
teaching the epic to young people. Kemmer
