Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’ Books I and II annotations today. It’s been a while since I’ve delved inside an epic poem but I’m really enjoying all the questions that are arising.
Look, it’s the 20s again, right? So let me expat to Paris as an American writer, drink too much, meet some other writers, artists, flappers, and other creative spirits as we make plans to do the most romantic and weirdest shit, and then write something that ends up being hated and loved by the English majors of the future. That’s all I want, but we’re in a pandemic and my country’s reputation is far worse than it was a century ago. At least I’m vaccinated.

"Romantic obsession is my first language. I live in a world of fantasies, infatuation and love poems. Sometimes I wonder if the yearning I've felt for others was more of a yearning for yearning itself. I've pined insatiably and repeatedly: for strangers, new lovers, unrequited flames. While the subjects changed, that feeling always remained. Perhaps, then, I have not been so infatuated with the people themselves, but with the act of longing."
-Melissa Broder, from "Life without Longing," The New York Times
