...text’s transmutation. However, far more tangible are the marvelous moments in which Newman’s work succeeds, conveying in prose both vivid and dreamy the physiognomy of botanicals, the silence beneath seas, and the sounds of fountains whose tones vary slightly from that of rain. It is rare for a text to be lovely, lilting, and dealing in love, without ever lapsing into the saccharine. “Azorno” is hard to pick up and put down—not simply because the maze is hard to enter again until it has already been...

Under the cold pound of autumn rain, the Crimson defied the odds, eking out a 1-0 victory over the visiting No. 14 Terriers of Boston University. The match raised Harvard’s record to 3-0, while delivering the Terriers their first loss of the season and dropping them to 2-1-1. But the matchup of cross-town rivals marked more than just an upset win. Harvard’s triumph over the Terriers also served as a measure of retribution against a team that had beaten the Crimson 5-1 in their last meeting...
