A photo of several nautilus cephalopods arranged in a circle around a mystery object. They are probably having a dinner party, but the way they're positioned makes it look like an arcane ritual is being conducted on the sea floor.

"Saps, and the anal grease of an otter, and pig's blood, and the crushed-up bulbous bodies of those insects that they'd find so thickly gathered on barnyard excrement it makes a pulsing rind, and oven soot, and the oil that forms in a flask of urine and rotting horseflesh, and the white of an egg, and charcoal, and the secret watery substance in an egg, and spit-in-charcoal in a sluggish runnel of gray they mixed with the harvested scum of a bloated tomato, and steamed plant marrows beaten to a paste, and orange clay, and auburn clay, and clay bespangled with the liquid pearl of fish scales stirred in milt, and suet, and glue boiled out of a hoof, and ash, and grape-like clusters of fat grabbed out of a chicken carcass and dried in the sun until it became inert and yet still pliable, and lime, and the pulp of the cherry, and the pulp of the cherry immersed in egg, and coral in a powder, and silver flake, and fig, and pollen, and dust, and beeswax, and an iridescence scraped with infinite care from the wings of hundreds of tiny flying things, and salted iridescence, and human milk, and ores, and gall, and stains expressed from teas, and gobs of squeeze-off from the nettings of cheese, and rouge, and kohl, and luster, and oyster, and lees: and so from these they made their paints: and then their Gods and their saints."

Super Bowl BY MARY RUEFLE Who won? I said. The game's tomorrow, he said. And I became the snail I always was, crossing the field in my helmet. But I'd given it my all, while the plane arced on its way to a landing, when I overheard the woman behind us say I was gathering wildflowers to make a wreath to lay on my mother's grave when my son fell off a mountain in Italy and I felt such joy over the unknown outcome of her words I was not ashamed, for I can feign interest in the world, just as she in that great green meadow must have.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareβs Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
