Columnist Jill Bartelt thinks the splendor of night is hidden by light

Throughout human history, the night sky has been a source of awe and fascination. Ancient Egyptians often painted stars on sarcophagus lids and on the ceiling of tombs. In Homer’s Iliad, the highly decorated shield of Achilles has images of Orion, the Great Bear, and other constellations. The twelve signs of the Zodiac (Gemini, Leo, etc.) have their roots in Babylonian culture, while the stars we know as Aldebaran, Altair, Deneb, Rigel, and Betelgeuse—among many others—were named and studied by medieval astronomers from the Islamic world.

What Did We Lose When We Lost the Stars?

The Convivial Society

To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.”
— Wendell Berry, “To know the dark”
Welcome to the latest installment of the
Convivial Society, especially to those of you who are relatively new around here. This is a full newsletter with a longish essay and much else. Also, this time around, I’m not addressing a crisis
de jour, and I hope that comes off as a feature rather than a bug. Over this past year, I have found myself writing about current events a good deal more than usual. This is fine, but I’m glad to return to another mode of reflection, one in which I feel myself more at home. One note about the title: I’d say that this is the question ultimately raised by the essay rather than one it answers definitively. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it. Oh, and while comments are usually open only for paying subscribers, I’ve decided to make them open to all of you this time around. I’d love to know what you all think about this topic.
