Dear Cicero,
It's been a long year already, and it's gonna be a longer night. It took me a while, but I fell in love with Aristotle, and having spent more than a few midnights with him, I have written a poem which I hope you will appreciate. I began with his book on Rhetoric, and tonight I have begun reading his work on Poetics. I was daunted at first by his reputation, but underneath that, of course, lay the man and his ideas and his genius.
So, this is the 21st letter of Book 5 of this collection, and so I will take a short break over Autumn before I begin Book 6. The first letter (of book 6) contains a video of a young friend of mine, a scholar of both Law and History, who will read a section of one of your speeches against Catiline, but he will read to you in the original Latin.
But that is for another night.
Tonight is dedicated to our mutual love of Aristotle.
with Admiration and Respect,
Morgan
