    2. Surely some one can read Morse. And then they’ll come to take us off. Long before thisevening.”

      In the later part of the story, some characters still believe that there is hope for salvation, which is quite ironic for readers who already know the ending.

    3. no, it isn’t coincidence! It’s our murderer’s touch of local colour! He’s a playful beast.Likes to stick to his damnable nursery jingle as closely as possible’

      In the current situation with multiple deaths, people have different perspectives on the issues at hand. However, some have also identified the killer's tricks, revealing the killer's talent for confusion and malicious enjoyment.

    1. what really I was really interested in was the idea that Marx wasn't really Keen or was sort of hostile to the idea of equality which I'm guessing will come as a surprise to many people

      for - interesting perspective - Karl Marx - He wasn't principally interested in equality - book - Capitalism: the word and the thing - perspectival knowledge of - Michael Sonenscher - misunderstanding - modern capitalists - misunderstand Karl Marx's work - Michael Sonenscher - Karl Marx and Capitalism - Maximizing each individual's freedom while not trampling on the same aspiration of other individuals within a society

      Interesting perspective - Karl Marx wasn't principally interested in equality - Sonenscher offers an interesting interpretation and perspectival knowledge of Karl Marx's motivation in his principal work paraphrase - Marx's thought centered on is interest in individuality and the degree to which in certain respects being somebody who is free and able to make choices about his or her lives and future activities is going to depend on each person's: - qualities - capabilities - capacities - preoccupations - values, etc - For Marx, freedom is in the final analysis something to do with something - particular - specific and - individual w - What matters to me may not matter entirely in the same sort of way to you because ultimately - in an ideal State of Affairs, my kinds of concerns and your kinds of concerns will be simply specific to you and to me respectively - For Marx, the problems begin as is also the case with Rosseau - when these kinds of absolute qualities are displaced by - relative qualities that apply equally to us both - For Marx, things like - markets - prices - commodities and - things that connect people - are the hallmarks of equality because they put people on the same kind of footing prices and productivity - Whereas the things that REALLY SHOULD COUNT are - the things that separate and distinguish people that make each individual fully and and entirely him or herself and - the idea for Marx is that capitalism - which is not a term that Marx used, - puts people on a kind of spurious footing of equality - Getting beyond capitalism means getting beyond equality to a state of effect in which - difference , - particularity, - individuality and - uniqueness - in a certain kind of sense will prevail

      comment - This perspective is quite enlightening on Marx's motivations on this part of his work and is likely misconstrued by those mainstream "capitalists" who vilify his work without critical analysis - Of course freedom - within a social context - is never an absolute term. - It is not possible to live in a society in which everyone is able to actualize their full imaginations, something pointed out in the work of two other famous thought leaders of modern history: - Thomas Hobbes observed in his famous work, Leviathan, and - Sigmund Freud also made a primary subject of his ID, Ego and Superego framework. - Total freedom would lead - first to anarchy and then - the emergence within that anarchy of those which possess the most charisma, influence, self-seeking manipulative skills and brutality - surfacing rule by authority - Historically, as democracy attempts to surface from a history of authoritarian, patriarchal governance, - democracy is far from ubiquitous and authoritarian governance is still alive and well in many parts of the world - The battle between - authoritarian governments among themselves and - authoritarian and democratic governments - results in war, violence and trauma that creates the breeding ground for the next generation of authoritarian leaders - Marx's main intent seems to be to enable the individual existing within a society to live the fullest life possible, - by way of enabling and maximizing their unique expression, - while not constraining the same aspiration in other individuals who belong to the same society

    1. What can you recall about your birthday parties-the dis-asters, the days of grace, your relatives' faces lit up by birthdaycandles

      9/30 interesting: “the birthday parties is a disasters” is funny

    2. The first useful concept is the idea of short assignments. Oftenwhen you sit down to write, what you have in mind is anautobiographical novel about your childhood

      9/30 Interesting : This often happens to me whether im writting an essay or paragraph with a childhood topic.

    3. So you get up and do your morning things, and one thingleads to another, and eventually, at nine, you find yourself backat the desk, staring blankly at the pages you filled yesterday.

      9/30 Interesting : This line relates to things we do in our daily, when you feel like you doing lot of things but actually not.

    4. Don't worry if what you write is no good,because no one is going to see it.

      9/30 Interesting: Since I first starting writing, my teacher always wants me to present the best content I can.

    1. At such times I could not help remarking and admiring (although from his rich ideality I had been prepared to expect it{w}) a peculiar analytic ability in Dupin. He seemed, too, to take an eager delight in its exercise — if not exactly in its display — and did not hesitate{x} to confess the pleasure thus derived. He boasted to me, with a low chuckling laugh, that most men, in respect to himself, wore windows in their bosoms,(8) and was wont to follow up such assertions by direct and very startling proofs of his intimate knowledge of my own. His manner at these moments was frigid and abstract; his eyes were vacant in expression; while his voice, usually a rich tenor, rose into a treble which would have sounded petulantly but for the deliberateness and entire distinctness of the enunciation. Observing him in these moods, I often dwelt meditatively upon the old philosophy of the Bi-Part Soul,(9) and amused myself with the fancy of a double Dupin — the creative and the resolvent.

      I think the author is building up the charming characteristic for Dupin. To make readers like him more.<br /> Dupin was described as a well mannered man with money.

    2. An extraordinary burglary — attended by very singular circumstances, and perpetrated by a curious felon — occurred in this town on Monday night.

      I think thta's interesting that the writer describe felon "curious".

    3. There is no back passage by which any one could have descended while the party proceeded up stairs.

      It's quite interesting that it said no other ways the murderer(s) could take (escape). In addition, witnesses said it's about 3-5 minutes from hearing the vioces to breaking the door. How did the murderer(s) run away?

    4. “The man who ran up against you as we entered the street — it may have been fifteen minutes ago.”

      Showing Dupin's prowess in deduction and his unpredictable personality through a random dialogue. Even before the case officially begins, let the reader understand his character

    5. They must, then, have the power of fastening themselves

      I think the detective is smart. When he find the sash is difficult to be opened and needed to be fasten inside, he doesn’t quit the possibility that murderer could escape from the window but try to find if the window can fasten by itself.

    6. They seemed to be{r} screams of some person (or persons) in great agony — were loud and drawn out, not short and quick. Witness led the way up stairs. Upon reaching the first landing, heard two voices in loud and angry contention — the one a gruff voice, the other much shriller — a very strange voice. Could distinguish some words of the former, which was that of a Frenchman. Was positive that it was not a woman's voice. Could distinguish the words ‘sacré’{s} and ‘diable.’ The shrill voice was that of a foreigner. Could not be sure whether it was the voice of a man or of a woman.

      It is interesting to read the description of the voice. I am imagining the “not like man or woman” voice in my mind when reading this part. I am still wandering how the voice could be.

    7. Poe wrote his story hastily. The manuscript shows more changes than do most of his surviving manuscripts, which appear to be copies carefully made for the printer rather than working drafts.

      I know nearly nothing about Poe so this description arouses my interest in the public impression of him: Is Poe the type of writer who is a bit worldly? otherwise, why does the manuscript look different from the others?

    8. Had the routine of our life at this place been known to the world, we should have been regarded as madmen — although, perhaps, as madmen of a harmless nature. Our seclusion was perfect. We admitted no visitors.{s} Indeed the locality of our retirement had been carefully kept a secret from my own former associates; and it had been many years since Dupin had ceased to know or be known in Paris. We existed within ourselves alone.

      I find this part interesting. Why should they have been regarded as madmen? Is it merely because their lifestyles? Or the fact that they are isolated from the city. I don't think only by these traits should one be regarded as madmen.

    9. The apartment was in the wildest disorder — the furniture broken and thrown about in all directions. There was only one bedstead; and from this the bed had been removed, and thrown into the middle of the floor.

      The detailed depiction of the disordered furniture effectively creates a visceral sense of unease. It intrigues me how Poe uses setting to evoke emotion and atmosphere, drawing readers deeper into the mystery and horror of the narrative. I think this is something that is worth for us to learn, especially when we have the opportunity to create our own story in the future.

    10. As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action,(1) so glories the analyst in that moral activity which disentangles. He derives pleasure from even the most trivial occupations bringing his talent into play. He is fond of enigmas, of conundrums, of hieroglyphics; exhibiting in his solutions of each{b} a degree of acumen{c} which appears to the ordinary apprehension præternatural.

      These are the traits I've seen on both Sherlock Holmes' novel and the BBC television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

    11. Voltaire's Zadig

      Edgar Allan Poe was deeply influenced by Voltaire (伏爾泰).

      Voltaire was a prominent figure in the 18th-century French Enlightenment movement.

      Hence, I anticipate the incorporation of elements from that era, especially the philosophical discussion and dialogue that challenge conventional social norms, as evident in Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.”

    12. An extraordinary burglary — attended by very singular circumstances, and perpetrated by a curious felon — occurred in this town on Monday night.

      The idea of using an animal as a perpetrator is quite unusual, it details the chaotic encounter between the monkey and the residents, showcasing a blend of humor and absurdity that makes it particularly interesting.

    13. He is fond of enigmas, of conundrums, of hieroglyphics; exhibiting in his solutions of each{b} a degree of acumen{c} which appears to the ordinary apprehension præternatural.

      ok then that's why he can be a detective, I even have no idea about the wording here...literally looking up for the words all the time...

    14. It is the ancestor of a vast number of works which have given much harmless pleasure to all sorts and conditions of men.

      What works, for example?

    1. themes of longing and loss and the close relationship between these two things, themes ofmeditation or philosophical contemplation, of political or moral outrage or celebration, praiseand blame, a concern with how difficult it can be to say just what we mean and feel we need tosay.

      The common themes of lyric poems reflect the speakers deep thoughts and contemplations. They also seem to use a lot of comparisons in order to further their point.

    2. notbeing primarily concerned with telling a story at all,

      Lyric poems seem to be more abstract meaning they don't need to follow a specific structure or flow because telling a story is not the objective.

    1. Being reluctant on buying the woman flowers implies having trouble with intimacy and or battling internal conflicts that is preventing him from expressing how he feels.

    2. "With all their griefs in their arms" describes how a true emotional connection is rooted in vulnerability and transparency. Those who truly love their partners love them no matter what baggage they may come with.

    3. Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly

      This can be seen as someone who is looking deep for the light that will lead to personal growth, change or realization of something impactful. Dragonflies are a symbolic for change or self realization.

    4. And say you'd nearly brought me flowersBut something had gone wrong

      This man has intentions to be thoughtful but does not follow through. He thought of doing something nice is not the same as actually doing it, and that feeling is painful.

    5. Not for the proud man apartFrom the raging moon I writeOn these spindrift pagesNor for the towering deadWith their nightingales and psalms

      He does not write for egotistical people who may see themselves as above everyone else, and he does not like to write about the dead.

    6. craft or sullen ar

      He does not create joyous material

    7. Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass

      Even in a moment where he wants time to stand still, time keeps moving. This scares the speaker as he wishes he could just enjoy this moment with her instead of imagining what could happen. Love fades with time.

    8. Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms

      Changes the romantic mood to something more dark.

    9. Ask me no more

      The repetition of "ask me no more" is showing that he simply does not have the answer to these questions, and he might even be asking and searching for the answer to these questions himself.

    10. he golden atoms of the day;For in pure love heaven did prepar

      Could be a metaphor for the sun. We need the sun to survive as he needs her to survive. How ever, the sun comes and goes which can also give us some insight into their relationship.

    1. “You will be expected to use AI generative tools in thisclass, following the instructor’s permissions and directions,”

      Interesting: I find this very interesting. This is the first time I have seen AI, when mostly prohibited or looked down upon in classroom setting is being used purposefully.

    1. I was clipping the coarse hairs from your ears and ruby nostrils - it is interesting how the advocates of personal private space would argue that it is too personal and too intimate to course someone's hair from ears or nostrils, even if it is about a couple. It is valuable to notice how much the author wanted to emphasize the bond and intimacy between the couples that he ended up going this deep into physical connection.

    1. She shows students how to engineerprompts so that AI can help them understand components of rhetoric,

      I think it is an efficiently way cause this is how my teacher taught me to search information with it.

    2. Faculty members have begun using it tohelp them design their courses, viewing it as a tool that can make instructionmore effective and engaging.In his business-communication class, Carl Follmer, director of the FrankBusiness Communication Center in the University of Iowa’s Tippie College ofBusiness, created an AI chatbot he calls Impy.

      professors are using AI to enhance teaching, like creating chatbots and improving lesson plans, showing AI's potential to improve education.

    1. The writing process also applies to timed writing tasks, such as essay exams.

      It would be very helpful to know the which can be used in the test and the exam it will take me to improve my writing skill.

    1. Writing, on the other hand, gives you the chance to put down your ideas and make them stay put long enough for you to evaluate them

      Before, I think writing is just a way to get a score .But after high school I changed my mind by many articles .It’s the way you can share your crazy ideas.

It is highlighted as a unique part of the syntax tree, and they're not happy with the particular name the author of the MR chose. Problem: The user can only comment on the entire line, because "lines" are considered the most fundamental building block in our Diffs UI.

    1. That thou among the wastes of time must go,

      This "among the wastes of time" is an intriguing phrase. I think it can be interpreted as "the deserts of time" or "something that time no long wants".

    1. With safety of her innocence;

      I find that the speaker may be alluding to different ideas in this line. His daughter, who passed at only six months, will be safeguarded of her innocence as she will not experience any form of hatred or danger in the mortal world. Yet, I also believe it applies to the sacrament of baptism which ties to her innocence. Baptism is performed a few weeks after birth for purity in the eyes of God. Therefore, Mary is pure and innocent as she goes to heaven.

    1. This living hand, now warm and capable

      I feel as if it makes sense that "living hand" is associated with "now warm and capable." I feel as if this means that his life which was once filled with dread and possibly bloodshead was replaced with a persona capable of helping others.

    1. parents’ ruth,

      Really interesting word choice that I've never heard before. Sets the tone of the poem to involve sadness and grief right from the start.

    1. you.

      The audience of the poem is the reader. This is not known until the last word, so it is interesting to reread the poem once more with this idea in mind. The author could have included 'you' earlier in the poem, but purposefully left this until the near end of the poem.

    2. own heart dry of blood

      The author is comparing life to blood. He does it in this line ad again in the next.

    3. now warm and capable

      The poem as a whole is very somber, but leads with words that would make you think otherwise.

      At first I had reservations about the fact that this requires you to pass a hash ... or rather, once you start using a hash as your "list", you can't just "switch back" to an array (a "problem" I've noticed in RSpec, where you have some tags that are symbols, and some that are hashes: you have to list the symbols first: describe 'thing', :happy_path, driver: :chrome):

      {}.bury(users: Array, 0, 'Value')
      

      But I think that's okay in practice. Just use a hash for all "elements" in your list:

      {}.bury(users: Array, 0 => 'Value')
      
    3. data = {}.extend XKeys::Auto # Vs ::Hash, uses arrays for int keys data[:users, 0, :name] # nil data[:users, 0, :name, :raise => true] # KeyError data[:users, :[], :name] = 'Matz' # :[] is next index, 0 in this case # {:users=>[{:name=>"Matz"}]} pick = [:users, 0, :name] data[*pick] # Matz data[:users, 0, :accesses, :else => 0] += 1 # {:users=>[{:name=>"Matz", :accesses=>1}]}
    1. # Parallel Ruby universes ("Rubyverses") - A proposed interface for # parallel, "semi-private" method or method-and-data spaces via # "closely associated" objects.
    1. Model theory recognizes and is intimately concerned with a duality: it examines semantical elements (meaning and truth) by means of syntactical elements (formulas and proofs) of a corresponding language
    1. Researchers reported that large populations consistently develop highly similar category systems. This may be relevant to lexical aspects of large communication networks and cultures such as folksonomies and language or human communication, and sense-making in general.
    1. The words type, concept, property, quality, feature and attribute (all used in describing things) tend to be used with different verbs. E.g. Suppose a rose bush is defined as a plant that is "thorny", "flowering" and "bushy". You might say a rose bush instantiates these three types, or embodies these three concepts, or exhibits these three properties, or possesses these three qualities, features or attributes.
    1. For example, in the Dyirbal language, the morpheme balam marks each entity in its noun class with the semantic property of edibility,[8] and Burmese encodes the semantic property for the ability to cut or pierce. Encoding the functional property for transportation, housing, and speech are also attested in world languages.
    1. All I needed to do was configure my bash so it will always start vim in server mode if it is not already and to always use the --remote-tab switch when opening files.
    1. Athena is still in production use at MIT. It works as software (currently a set of Debian packages)[2] that makes a machine a thin client, that will download educational applications from the MIT servers on demand

      Interesting Chaucer presents the squire right after the knight, it makes it seem as though they are foils for each other meant to emphasize their different stages in development as knights

    1. Record filters allow you to require an instance of a particular class (or one of its subclasses) or a value that can be used to locate an instance of the object. If the value does not match, it will call find on the class of the record. This is particularly useful when working with ActiveRecord objects.

    1. Now I can only smile.

      This makes me think of the narrator being bedridden in old age or sickness and her partner is no longer alive. Since flowers and hospitals also have a close tie like flowers and relationships, the author might be trying to convey how the narrator's relationship with her partner changed over time with old age but still kept the same in some aspects.

    2. your flowers

      The use of "your flowers" instead of just "flowers" insinuates that the partner isn't worried that the narrator doesn't want flowers in general, but, rather, the partner is worried that the narrator wouldn't want flowers from him specifically. This makes me think there has been turmoil in the relationship.

    1. rages

      The poets uses what would rather be a simple verb as a powerful verb to paint the picture of how the moon is the most outstanding object at night. This is probably to show that love can power through tough situation. But the moon has phases.

    1. <Masonry> component implementation could be something like this (very drafty)
    2. The CardLayout creates a store in context and the Card creates a standardized div container and registers it to the store so that the CardLayout has access to that DOM element. Then in afterUpdate you can move the DOM elements into columns and Svelte will not try to put them back where they go. It's a bit messy but it works.
    3. I think that maybe instead of using the prefixed $$ globals, a more "natural" solution could look something like this: import { slots, props, parent } from '@component';
    1. So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights

      It kind of seems like he is talking about feeling dead and sort of contradicting the title This living hand... because you get cold when you die and he's talking about haunting the day.

    2. now warm and capable

      Is he maybe talking about something that happened in the past? I feel like he's saying that it's "warm and capable" now, but before now it was cold etc.

    1. But of course, there are UX implications. For example, it can be harder to select the text, and the entire element needs fairly complex styling to create clear focus and hover states. There are also accessibility implications, like the fact that the content of the entire card is read before it is announced as a link.
    1. A hosted Kit is the easiest way to add Font Awesome to your website. It's a collection of icons, styles, and settings that allows you to make changes and update versions without pushing code.

To explain further what exactly I’m building, the animated background is a pure code equivalent to the old music video, but runs as long as the full length of the album, though without any event triggers to tie it to the music (the animation runs continuously for the full amount of time that the uninterrupted album lasts, but does not pause or jump to a different location in the animation). It’s also extremely slow animation

    1. Say I have a separate API server that provides content for a Sapper route. I could just query that API in my route's preload function, but if the content changes rarely, I don't want to incur that cost for every page load and would much rather cache responses from the API on the Sapper side.
    1. With the caveat that hero worship can be gross, distorting, and unhelpful to everyone involved, Svelte author Rich Harris (@rich_harris on Twitter) is one of my favorite open source developers. In the JS community he’s well-known among tool authors for spreading interesting ideas. He’s the creator of many open source projects including Rollup, the bundler of choice for many libraries including React and Vue.

    1. This overloaded word is also non-jargon for a proper morphism.
    2. notion

      I don't feel very comfortable with this choice of wording, perhaps because the dictionary definition includes such wishy-washy definitions as "A belief or opinion." "An impulse or whim."

      Why not choose a better word like "property"? Which is what they called it here, for example.

      (Even "concept" or "idea", though just as vague, might be better than notion?)

    1. Those frameworks are used in a similar fashion, but conceptually use quite different approaches (Vue is a more traditional one, a library, and Svelte is a "dissapearing framework").

      interesting wording: Svelte is a "disappearing framework".

    1. I'm afraid there's only so much the docs & tutorials can do about something like this actually. When you first read them, you don't get Svelte well enough (since you're reading a tutorial...) for this to make sense to you. Then you try something, encounter a behaviour, question it, understand better... That's learning.
    1. Looking at a few isolated examples doesn’t really represent the enormity of the maintenance problem when you modify objects that you shouldn’t. To understand this point of view, it’s helpful to take a step back and look at moral philosophy (aka ethics).

    1. Thus, in theory at least, any narrative can be actualized by any medium which can communicate the two time orders

      This is true as it is important that within the medium that the two times are independent and not dependent on each other.

    2. novelization," which transforms already exhibited films into novels)

      this is a very interesting idea that i have never thought of. But i don't think that it would work as well because for me i like of make my own mental image of the characters while reading the book. so if it were a movie i would immediately think of the actors that played them in the movie.

    1. The @const indicates that the value is read-only (i.e. it cannot be assigned to or mutated in an expression such as an event handler), and communicates, through its similarity to const in JavaScript, that it only applies to the current scope (i.e. the current block or element).

    1. combining a wide variety of styles and influences is a recipe to being interesting. The reverse would be that having only a few influences and styles is a recipe for blandness
    1. is a statement not made by us only; although it may seem a sufficiently marvellous and incredible assertion to those who have a reputation as philosophers among Greeks and Barbarians, by some of whom, however, an idea of His existence seems to have been entertained, in their acknowledging that all things were created by the word or reason of God.

      I am not sure I understand perfectly what was said here, however, if what I believe it is being said is right I think this is a very interesting sentence. Son of God is a statement made by us, which is sufficient by itself but also by greek philosophers? As a reinforcement of this statement?

    1. Meanwhile, in the case of those who were denounced to me as Christians, I have observed the following procedure: I interrogated these as to whether they were Christians; those who confessed I interrogated a second and a third time, threatening them with punishment

      In the Christian faith a lot of people fear sinning and others don’t fear sinning, or going against God, they fear punishment. When we repent our sins do we do it because we truly feel remorseful or because we don’t want to face the punishment. Also, in bible stories we see punishment as being something that should be feared. This makes me think of “Daniel in The Lions Den,” because the ones who received the punishment in the end were those who tried to get Daniel in trouble.

    2. They asserted, however, that the sum and substance of their fault or error had been that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god, and to bind themselves by oath, not to some crime, but not to commit fraud, theft, or adultery, not falsify their trust, nor to refuse to return a trust when called upon to do so. When this was over, it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food--but ordinary and innocent food. Even this, they affirmed, they had ceased to do after my edict by which, in accordance with your instructions, I had forbidden political associations. Accordingly, I judged it all the more necessary to find out what the truth was by torturing two female slaves who were called deaconesses. But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition.

      This is interesting because this piece of text relates to sinning and the repercussions of that and torture which comes with sinning. Also how hiding the truth is a form of sinning.

    1. Use a USB-condom. This is a device that plugs in between your normal cable and the computer and blocks the data lines
    2. Use a USB cable with a "data switch". This cable is normally power-only, which is what you want 90% of the time. However there is a button ("Data Transfer Protection On/Off Switch") you can press that will enable data. An LED indicates the mode. This kind of cable is much safer and secure, plus more convenient for the users. It follows the security principle that if you make the defaults what you want users to do, they're more likely to follow your security policy.

    1. Those who feel overloaded are actually less likely to use the internet or smartphones

      I found this bit of the study to be interesting. It's referencing a different study, but I would be curious see what percentage of the group quoted used smartphones in the past and are currently trying to use them less because they now feel overwhelmed. I believe information overload is a real thing and I think it comes in the form of moments when you're staring at your phone (likely social media) for a long time, you get frustrated, and then you finally realize "I need to put down the phone and do something away from a screen." I've definitely had that moment plenty of times. I'm not sure if that is what this "information overload" study is referring to, but I would be curious to look into it more. Also, the date 2006 was mentioned, so I'm not sure when this study was done last. I wonder what the results would be like now in 2019.

Similarly Milton's avoidance of the ferninincending is breached at the start of the excerpt with Satan's "aspiring" abovehis peers; with hindsight one perceives that Milton tends to use such endingsfor acts of disobedience and illegitimate aspiration

      This explanation seems like a stretch. While I'm aware Milton probably paid a lot of attention to stressed and unstressed syllables in his writing, it feels like the pairing of Darkness and Visible just made Milton make an exception to the rule.

    1. A case in point: in The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates Milton develops a radical argument that free people have always the right to change their government and depose a king when ever they wish because sovereignty resides essentially in the people.

      Once again, I feel like Milton is so heavily viewed in a religious aspect with his works pertaining to God, but at the same time I always seem to read something that is told in a political way.

    2. (reflecting as some suggest, Milton's retreat from po

      I stated something earlier to do with Milton political views as well. He always seemed to want to voice his opinion but mostly in the shadows.

    3. her dichotomy: that Milton's texts are all about spiritual as opposed to political readi

      I think his texts are still quite political, especially with Areopagitica and his view on licensing and censorship.

    1. confronted with the possibility that he may never be allowed to runtlrc race for which he has spent most of his adult life training himself, whatp.ssible consolation can Milton be expected to find in the announcementtlrrrt the prize-giving will take place in heaven?

      I found this very interesting- I wrote about this section in my blog actually, and when reading, this passage gave me pause, though I could not figure out why. I think this is a really good point that Evans brings up, that I had not considered myself.

    2. As C. S. Lewis once observed in a lecture, to complainhecause Milton sounds unmoved by grief h Lycidas is like complainingbecause the organist playing the funeral march does not break down in tearsduring the burial service.

      An excellent quote from, arguably, one of the best authors ever. Milton was detached from the subject, not being extremely close to King, and so he is potentially in a good position to write this poetic memorial to King. By being detached from the subject he can potentially have a better view of the subject.

    3. \7herethere is leisure for fiction, there is little grief.

      This quote jumped out at me. Basically, if you have enough free time that you can spend it on something like writing, how hard can your life really be?

    4. Although Milton does not appear to havel', r'rr u particularly close friend of King's, he was nevertheless invited to con-rrrlrrrlc to the collection

      This just goes to show how talented Milton was, that even though he was not a big part in King's life, the people putting the collection together had such respect for Milton's skill that they asked him to contribute to what was essentially a memorial to King.
