I am too low in spirit today to write the third and final post of this cycle (see below). I write by compression, rather than in the conversational tone good bloggers achieve, and I don’t have that sort of stone-and-chisel work in me now. I think I know what the post’s subtitle will be, though: “Two Bright Maps And A Broken Mirror.”

So I’ll postpone, substituting the anniversary of one spring Roman political killing for another: rather than publish, as promised, today, on the Ides of March, I’ll publish on Good Friday.
