Useless quote for 3 Apr:

"What boots it at one gate to make defence,
And at another to let in the foe
Effeminatly vanquish't?"

"Here at least we shall be free; the Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence.
Here we may reign secure, and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
- John Milton, "Paradise Lost"
🎨 Gustave Doré

Just when we think we're getting it, you go ahead and talk about English history! Sure, ruin my day and remind me that everything is an discomfiting mirror, anyway!

'O, welcome, pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope,
Thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!'
– MILTON

Excerpt From
Daniel Deronda

Prenez note de cette citation par John Milton, auteur du poème « Le Paradis Perdu », au sujet du terrible dieu Moloch : « D'abord s'avance Moloch, horrible roi, aspergé du sang des sacrifices humains et des larmes des pères et des mères, bien qu'à cause du bruit des tambours et des timbales retentissantes le cri de leurs enfants ne fût pas entendu lorsqu'il les passait par le feu devant cette sinistre idole. » Bien entendu, plusieurs diront qu'ils ne sacrifient pas leurs enfants à Moloch aujourd'hui, mais poursuivez. Dans le Nouveau Testament, Étienne, le martyr, fut lapidé à mort, au moins en partie parce qu'il avait accusé ceux qui l'écoutaient de l'adoration de cette idole malveillante (Actes 7 :43). Lorsque le roi Josias, un juste, hérita du trône en tant que roi de Juda, il détruisit tous les autels de la vallée de Tophet (ou Hinnom — la même vallée que le Christ compara au feu de la géhenne dans Mc 9 :43-49) peu après avoir été couronné. Il avait réalisé tout le mal des pratiques qui se tenaient à cet endroit.

Useless quote for 15 Dec:

"Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,
With charm of earliest Birds; pleasant the Sun
When first on this delightful Land he spreads
His orient Beams …"

John Milton, "Paradise Lost" Book IV ll. 641-644, 1674

Moore's monster epic is worth every word and distorted bending of reality, from its angelic jokes to bizarre art shows. How much of history can it digest at once? More than I caught on a first read, for certain.

“The Christian poetry of John Milton and the idiosyncratic turntablism of Josh Pollock, better known as DJ Female Convict Scorpion, are not an intuitive match,” writes Jonathan Shaw. https://dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/769131388903505920/dj-female-convict-scorpion-paradise-re-lost #music #johnmilton #djfemaleconvictscorpion

The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

Both spectacular reads after we get past Milton's narratological problem; and my take: Regained is the stronger work!
