To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

RIP Andrew Wyeth
Andrew Wyeth has passed away. Read about it here. This is perhaps his most famous work -- "Christina's World". A couple of years ago "She Who Must Not Be Named" and I spent several hours at the Farnsworth Museum up in Maine admiring the amazing technique in his work. It was a terrific experience. He's one of my favorites, but then I'm one of those strange derriere garde guys.
Goodbye Andrew, you did good.
