Zum Raum wird hier die Zeit

Not a lot going on lately. I am still hooked up on Pinker's "The Language Instinct" and Parsifal Act 1. I believe the climax of the act is Amfortas' refusal to partake in the ceremony of the Holy Grail (beginning with "Nein, lass ihn unenthuellt"). The level of emotion that Wagner achieved there is undescribable. I just can't get enough of it.
