Ah! Well, the place to do that would have been at the Deux Magots. It's still possible to get a table there and sit, or was last time I was in the vicinity.
Sartre once fell asleep at a rehearsal of a play of his, and Camus coming in said, "At least your chair is in the direction of history." There's a story that Sartre never forgave that quip. :-)

Cheers,
John

Very good, Joe, and great congratulations. (I agree with John about the correspondence of Sisyphus and the villanelle - a brilliant insight, I think.)

I have read another good poem, recently, about Sisyphus. Now, where was that? I will try to remember.

But kudos - good Greek word there - on this one.

Cheers

David

Congratulations!

I like your Villanelle and it's nice to see poetry in different places.
(I'm with Rick, though - I don't like the cartoon all that much)

Not the same as Philosophy Today, but for an eclectic dive through all kinds of ideas, I like Aeon. They have a graphic representation of The Myth of Sisyphus which is quite fun.
