I'll give it some time. If the Blogger Fairy doesn't show up within the next week and make everything all better, then I'll unleash my unholy vengeance upon Blogger staffers. Until then, my apologies. I'm sure thousands of you are in agony, you poor things, because you have been bereft of your precious archives. Bereft is my word for today.
You have bereft me of all words, lady.Anywhosel. Fleas have come into my home. Most evil.
--William Shakespeare, Troilus in Troilus and Cressida, act 3, sc. 2.
Obscurest night involv'd the sky,
Th' Atlantic billows roar'd,
When such a destin'd wretch as I,
Wash'd headlong from on board,
Of friends, of hope, of all bereft,
His floating home for ever left.
--William Cowper, The Castaway (l. 1-6)
