Many thanks to all HUMANIST contributors who helped me with the Goethe
quote on "masterly restraint."

Of course, it does not escape me that the idea expressed in this moving
sonnet has everything to do with the constraints of a medium on
perception, and thus, with "distance learning." A medium always cuts
both ways, doesn't it?

Still learning (if distantly),
Wendell

Wer Grosses will, muss sich zusammenraffen, In der Beschraenkung zeigt sich erst der Meister, Und das Gesetz nur kann uns Freiheut geben.
