"He slept that night in his own country and he had a dream wherein he saw God's pilgrims laboring upon a darkened verge in the last of the twilight of that day and they seemed to be returning from some deep enterprise that was not of war nor were they yet in flight but rather seemed coming from some labor to which perhaps these and all other things stood subjugate."
The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy

I didn’t actually say anything too interesting about the Detroit commercial, but I did say this earlier that night about American national emotion. The intensity of Superbowl commercials and promos are astounding to me - there is just so much feeling about it. As someone who grew up without sports in the household, and in Canada, it is truly remarkable, and it means that I am actually intensely into sports when I start to watch it because I feel like I’m studying something very intricate and moving and complex.
