Marlow’s Listener

Ving, Vang, Vong. Or, the Pleasures of a New Vocabulary. - New York Times: “You find yourself at sea, awash in the natural world, and yet at the same time you find yourself immured in a vigilant kind of properness, a clear sense of how things should be. It’s not just a matter of proper names. It’s a matter of proper actions and responses, without which there is a world of trouble. There is something deeply ethical about it, as there always is in the command of language.”
