@Daeus, I copied and pasted a lot from an older assignment into this one, so it’s hard to tell how much is new, but I have about two pages that I didn’t have before.

A lot of the best Romantic poets died young, and still put out a lot of good work, so there’s some consolation.

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

@Daeus, the Romantics had plenty of problems to go around. I wouldn’t recommend modelling your life on Byron’s, or Shelley’s, for example.

Milton was definitely not a Romantic poet, but he spent much of his life preparing to write an epic, and then went blind and was afraid he’d never do it. But he did it anyway.

And now I feel so terribly uncultured because I’ve never read Byron or Shelley or Milton… *sniff*

@kate-flournoy Oh, good it was only your laptop. I was worried you might have met an untimely midlife demise.
