Tuesdays with Northrop

Every Tuesday, I sit down to read Northrop Frye. I understand little, am frustrated much, but it's always an enlightening experience. The most amazing part is when I connect to his words and actually understand what he is saying. I feel like he somehow gave me the key to unlock his golden city, and it was only me that stopped me from getting it sooner. Like he has been impatiently waiting for me to finally understand so he can move on to do the things that he has been neglecting while he waited. I picture him scowling, tapping his foot annoyingly then dancing and rejoicing when I finally get it. So thank you Northrop, I will miss our Tuesdays when they are through.
