@JohnBrady Today I learned the useful phrase “Glimpsing the Shoggoth”.
\n(a little more explication here)
@joshuapsteele For years I’ve worn a ring with “Господи Иисусе Христе, Сыне Божий, помилуй мя, грешнаго” inscribed. Have I made better decisions? I don’t know.

@JimRain I read it and loved it this month also! After reading a library copy, I read it again, then bought a copy for myself, a rare thing for me. Beautiful and, as you say, economical as a poem.
