One time at your house, your little brother fell over the couch and hit his head on the hearth. Your dad ran in the door and said, "Jesus Christ!" It was one of the scariest and exhilarating moments to hear, for the first time, a grownup using the Lord's name in vain in such a casual and flippant way.

Verdi wrote some of my favorite music, but in a way, Ives was more original. Ives was more of an inventor, Verdi a composer. Love.
