Great Regulars: And yet, when a girlfriend of mine

watched her husband of 30 years drive off in a fancy sports car to "find himself," she took comfort in those words of [C.P.] Cavafy's set down more than a century ago. They fit perfectly on a postcard, which she mailed off to aforementioned husband--which proves the usefulness of poetry, if not its higher-mindedness.
