JR asked SW when there was first a plan to close the golf course. This resulted in a rather acrimonious colloquy in which SW refused to answer what the president meant by either of his posts saying the course would close on Nov. 15.

Hodiernal [HO-dee-ER-nul]
(adj.)
- Of or pertaining to this present day; today; contemporary.

“The hodiernal luncheon of the Ladies’ Bicycle Club descended into an ostrobogulous colloquy concerning whether the pleasures of cycling might explain the younger generation’s waning interest in suitors.”
A "Grandiloquent Word of the Day" meme featuring the word “Hodiernal” (adjective), meaning “of or pertaining to this present day; today; contemporary.” A humorous example sentence talks about the Ladies’ Bicycle Club debating whether the pleasures of cycling explain young women’s waning interest in suitors. On the right is an antique illustrated sheet music cover titled “There’ll Be No Wedding Here Today” by Thos. M. Bowers, featuring a fashionable Victorian woman, a telegram, and a dejected gentleman.

However, "cozy murder mystery" is a very curious phrase

ment, awareness and deliberate recency of its technique it is extremely modern. Again, in its pathos and its romantic, revolutionary urge, it is primitive - a world-poem interlaced with music and prophetic Nature. In it the original substance of life interacts; day and night hold colloquy; the mythical prototypes of man - the fair, blithe, golden-haired and those that brood in hate, grief and rebellion - engage each other in profound fairy-tale plot. The tremendous thing about all this is a certain epic radicalism for which I shall never lose my enthusiasm. It is the radicalism of beginning, of going back to the first and original source of all things, the primeval cell, the first E-flat of the prelude to the overture. It is the obsession to rear a musical cosmogony, indeed, a musical cosmos, to be endowed with a meaningful life of its own - the ringing pageant of the world's beginning and end. This blend of drama and music is often called impure, the work of a charlatan. I admit the charge. There are cases in which admissions of all kinds may be made - and still, something overwhelming remains. The parallelism between music and the creative world of things places the epic birth of the world in coincidence with the birth of music. The mythology of music is interwoven with that of the world. A mythical philosophy, a musical poem of Creation, grow up before our senses and proceed to unfold into a richly joined world of symbols rising from the E-flat major triad of the deep-flowing Rhine. We are dealing with a work that is intensely German, to an exemplary degree. This conclusion is disquieting when we remember the relationships uncovered by Mr Viereck. It leads to identifications which we are today profoundly interested in repudiating. But the truth is that such a work could only spring from the German spirit. Perhaps - though this is not certain - Jewish blood did its share. Certain qualities of this art - its sensuousness and intellectualism - speak in favor of the assumption. But first and foremost it is German. It is the German contribution to nineteenth-century creative art in the monumental tradition - the type of contribution which in other nations pre-eminently took the form of the great social novel. Dickens, Thackeray, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Balzac, Zola - their works, heaped up with the same urge for moralizing grandeur, constitute Europe's nineteenth century, constitute the world of literary and social criticism. The German contribution, the form which this greatness took in Germany, has no social element nor desires to have anything to do with it. Society is not musical; indeed, not even capable of creative art. The roots of creativeness go down into the pure humanity of the mythical age, into the timeless, non-historical proto-poetry of Nature and of the heart. That is what the German spirit desires. That was its instinct, long in advance of any conscious decision. So far as time and mind are concerned, the Ring des Nibelungen has a great deal in common with the Rougon-Macquart series. The essential and characteristic national distinction is that between the social instinct of the French work and the mythical, primitive, poetic spirit of the German. With the appreciation of this difference, the intricate old question: 'What is German?' perhaps finds its tersest answer. Essentially the German spirit lacks social and political interest. Deep down, that sphere is foreign to it. But its accomplishments do not permit a purely negative evaluation of such a fact. Still, one is fully entitled to speak here of a vacuum, a failure, a deficiency. And in so decidedly social and political a time as ours, this often so productive deficiency may truly take on a fateful, indeed, a disastrous character. In the face of the problems of the times it may lead to efforts at, solution which are poor evasions and which are by way of being mythical substitutes for truly social solutions. But that brings us to National Socialism. National Socialism means: 'I do not care for the social issue at all. What I want is the folk tale?' This formulation, to be sure, is the mildest, the most intellectual. The fact that in reality National Socialism is also filthy barbarism springs from that other fact, that in the realm of politics fairy tales become lies. [EV note: here in the scan someone has written a check mark and: ‘Wow!’ ] National Socialism, in all its ineffable empirical vileness, is the tragic consequence of the mythical political innocence of the German spirit. You see, I go a little farther than Mr Viereck. I find an element of Nazism not only in Wagner's questionable literature; I find it also in his 'music', in his work, similarly questionable, though in a loftier sense - albeit I have so loved that work that even today I am deeply stirred whenever a few bars of music from this world impinge on my ear. The enthusiasm it engenders, the sense of grandeur that so often seizes us in its presence, can be compared only to the feelings excited in us by Nature at her noblest, by evening sunshine on mountain [EV note: there is also a check mark beside this paragraph, presumably by the same reader] peaks, by the turmoil of the sea. Yet this must not make us forget that this work, created and directed 'against civilization', against the entire culture and society dominant since the Renaissance, emerges from the bourgeois-humanist epoch in the same manner as does Hitlerism. With its *Wagalaweia* and its alliteration, its mixture of roots-in-the-soil and eyes-toward-the-future, its appeal for a classless society, its mythical-reactionary revolutionism - with all these, it is the exact spiritual forerunner of the 'metapolitical' movement today terrorizing the world. This is the movement that must be beaten if a really new order is to arise in Europe. Let us not deceive ourselves. National Socialism must be beaten. In practice this means, unfortunately: Germany must be beaten. It is meant, however, in a very definite sense - a spiritual sense too. For there is but one Germany, not two, not a good and an evil. And Hitler, in all his wretchedness, is no accident. He could never have become possible but for certain psychological prerequisites that must be sought deeper down than in inflation, unemployment, capitalist speculation and political intrigue. Yet it is true that nations do not always show the same face, that it depends on time and circumstances how their constant qualities appear. Germany today makes a frightful appearance. It torments the world - not because it is 'evil', but because it is at the same time 'good' - a fact with which Anglo-Saxon humor is fully familiar, as evidenced by the words of the estimable Harold Nicolson: "The German character is one of the finest but most inconvenient developments of human nature.' Germany must be beaten. That means it must be compelled to reactivate all the constructive social elements in its fund of tradition from earlier centuries. It must do so in order to fit into the European Confederation, the comity of nations for which Europe is ripe. Such federalism will require sacrifices in national sovereignty and selfishness from every nation. This war is waged in Germany's interest. It would be asking too much, of course, for Germany to see this at the moment. But the war is waged to bring about a state of affairs which will free Germany from the curse of power politics, more depraving for her than for any nation. It is waged for a pacified, depoliticalized Europe which alone can provide an atmosphere conducive to Germany's greatness and happiness. Such an atmosphere will restore political innocence to the works of Germany, and a clear conscience to those who admire them. They will no longer have to sigh: It is great, it is splendid, but it is 'against civilization'. Yours very sincerely, THOMAS MANN

Worthwhile colloquy guys

W/out much thought 😆 seems the slippery part here is election context..

..which feels slippery bc we find ourselves having smeared, disrespected, or otherwise lost sight of actual civic categories that used to clearly distinguish btwn them (and the obvious reasons to)
