Re: What are you reading, watching and listening to?
I'm reading The End of the Affair for one class, Woodman's translation of Tacitus's Annals for another, Kant's Critique of Pure Reason for a third, and To the Lighthouse and Shakespeare's Sonnets for the second time on my own. I'm listening to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring at the moment and the last T...

Re: ZBB member photos, part 5.
I would certainly bang a few people in this thread. In fact, were I single (and had I the finances and time to travel extensively), I would be treating this thread as a to-do list. I'm sure a lot of people would love to be on your list Nom. Here I am 650 feet beneath Kansas, fondling a giant cube o...

Re: Latin questions
you may already know this, but nacere 'to be born' was originally gnacere nascere and gnascere , rather; and the verb was deponent, so nasci and gnasci .

Re: ZBB member photos, part 5.
My boyfriend in 5'3" and he gets some of his clothes children-sized. On the other hand, he is extremely stocky and broad, so in some respects he has the opposite problem to you guys.

Another Greek question; the etymology of Diadema and how the PIE root might come to develop less for the item a ruler wears on their head or any act of ruling but as the title of ruler itself. I am unable to parse anything beyond "and" in any sensible way. Rather than asking you to rephrase your po...

Oh, I must mention, though strictly speaking he's not Classical but Early Romanticism, Robert Schumann. Oh his lieder are to die for, especially Im wünderschönen Monet Mai from his Dichterliebe song cycle. Viktor: OK, OK, we get it, you're gay. I don't get this quote. What was "gay" about what I sa...

An almost completely uninformed glance at Portuguese verb tables leads me to remark off the cuff that the future subjunctive bears a striking resemblance to the Latin imperfect subjunctive. Also note that Latin didn't have a future subjunctive at all, so it indeed has to have been some kind of Roman...
