This is the Cosmos Club. I experienced a strange and unfamiliar welling up of desire. I want to be a member of the Cosmos Club and find myself entertained by the luminaries of science, literature, and the arts who hang out here. They wouldn’t let women darken their front door until 1988 but oh well.
The qualificaitons for membership: “Election to membership in the Cosmos Club honors persons deemed to have “done meritorious original work in science, literature, or the arts, or… recognized as distinguished in a learned profession or in public service”.”, …there’s still time for me.
