"The God forsakes Antony" is simply gorgeous. I especially love the part Above all, don’t fool yourself, don’t say
it was a dream, your ears deceived you:

It just appeals to me and touches me personally I guess.

And I just heard the Cohen song actually! The alexandral mentioned at the top of the post, posted both that and poem itself. So that was quite a treat!

And huzzah! Chabon's the Escapist! Do you know they might be making a Cavalier and Klay movie? I'm a little hesitant, but then again I always am when it comes to filming books I love.
