A question to the group and not a direct criticism of Ken: What would
Percy have made of the Millenium? My hunch is that he would have been
amused at the amount of everydayness that persisted up to and through the
momentous moment. In other words, he would have focused on how
unmomentous these days are--except for whooping ad hollering of the
preachers and the montbanks who are cleaning up on a number. But my
hunches about WP are clearly an imposition of my own impatience and
irritation.
