My Favorite Essay
I return to this essay each spring, scattering my ink under Eliot’s. I remember Dr. Evans’s shock at my love for Eliot. It seemed incongruent with my love of Mark Twain and Steinbeck and all of those early loves who stole my heart with strong voices. Eliot employs voice differently than fiction writers, and for me, the voice of “Tradition and the Individual Talent” feels like the canon itself is speaking, directly to me, as if I am the recipient of a love letter from literature itself. When Wally (Dr. Evans) referred to Eliot (and Emerson and Hume) as stuffy old bastards, it was my turn to react with shock. I’m sure I looked at him like he had three heads or a tuba growing out of one ear. I feel an intimacy when I read Eliot. “Journey of the Magi” brought me to tears the first time I read it.

Basalt Crushing Challenges: How to Choose the Right Equipment for the Job
The processing of basalt, an extrusive igneous rock formed from rapidly cooled lava, presents a formidable set of challenges for aggregate producers. Its mineralogical composition, primarily plagioclase and pyroxene, confers exceptional compressive strength—often exceeding 300 MPa—and a high silica content that makes it notoriously abrasive. These intrinsic properties demand a deliberate, technically informed approach to equipment selection. An ill-suited basalt crusher will not only suffer catastrophic wear but will also fail to produce the requisite particle shape and gradation, compromising the final product's value in critical applications like high-strength concrete and asphalt. Success hinges on a systematic analysis that moves from material characterization through the crushing circuit, matching each machine's operational principle to the specific stage of size reduction and the desired product specification.
