Tsunami
The Post's Michael Dobbs describes his morning swim; the BBC's Roland Burek says he never felt the earthquake.
Today's post was going to be about Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev (and, in particular, their pairing in Romeo and Juliet in the early 1960s). And I thought a little Renee Fleming moment would be worth writing about, and I was going to link to a Handel-Halvorsen duo for violin and viola that seemed important earlier today. These are all beautiful and highly-structured things.
But there is nothing quite as awesome as a magnitude 8.9 earthquake. Indian authorities didn't even consider that tsunamis might follow — nothing like this had ever happened there before. There is beauty, and then there is terrible beauty.

Got something to say?
Waves of fury beating on the shore,
Unimaginable heights terrify us to the core.
Man, woman, child it holds no discrimination,
Leaving behind utter chaos and mass devastation.
Suffering, bereavement, misery and sorrow,
How long must we endure this horror.
Lives lost, businesses perished and wrecked homes,
Stench of doom, still growing in loom.
What can we do in times like this,
Should we just stand by and not assist?
Please give your means to those in need,
This is the time to do good deeds.
Lastly, please say a prayer to all survivors of Tsunami,
May they have the strength to overcome this catastrophe.
