To Read Or Not To Read

@Daeus, he’s making fun of Lord Byron’s “The Destruction of Sennacherib” which is Romantic poetry with the usual touch of the melodramatic, though it sounds nice when you say it aloud, and using that to make fun of overuse of metaphor in general. But he’s drawing on allusions to Hamlet to do it.

You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation. (Isaiah 12:3)

@northerner Ah, I guess I didn’t catch that. Well, I caught the part about heaven and earth and philosophies, but nothing else.
