_Update: More sexual musing and self-loathing. Thinking of what one would be when young versus the changes of aging that make a mockery of wary ambition. Prodigal talent ending up in a second-rate thinker._

_Update: Different remembrances, some about sex, some about death, a lot about olive oil._

_Update: I did not get a lot of this portion. It consisted of some letters with Kohler, some remembrances._

Clotho, Atropos, and Lachesis are the three fates of Greek mythology.

🚩Super imposed “note” typography

The same framing is applied here as on page 38, only now with life in a schoolroom.

_2/5/24 Recap: The narrator's interest in Rilke and typographical elements *from* News of the World(?)_

### Mad Meg in the Maelstrom

_2/2/24 Recap: With this book's first person narrative, I found it a trifle difficult to take notes in the manner I am accustomed to. I want to recount what I can recall. The book starts with a man who is resolved to finish a paper on Germany. He recounts that he is not German and his wife's lineage. He recounts his experience in Germany, his sentiments before the war, and then his role as consultant at the Nuremberg Trials._
