[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I think the compromise consensus position for pretty much everybody of good faith should be that the full text of the agreement be released. There’s no reason to take Trump’s word or Iran’s or random leakers’ word for it. Release the text, period.

A Sabbath Poem by Wendell Berry

[Mark W. @DurhamWASP]

Life is not hurrying
on to a receding future, nor hankering after
an imagined past. It is the turning
aside like Moses to the miracle
of the lit bush, to a brightness
that seemed as transitory as your youth
once, but is the eternity that awaits you.

R.S. Thomas

“It is an entire world that Tolkien has created, and one of the most striking things about it is the familiarity of its moral order: the hatred of tyrannical power and love of freedom; the resistance to the hypnotic allure of demagogic eloquence; the appreciation of simple, comfortable, contented, unexceptional lives; the pluck and terrific courage that certain of these ordinary beings can summon when confronted by the threat of consuming malevolence...” —Algis Valiunas
