(Original Review, 1981-02-10)It has been a long time since I read “Manfred”, and much longer since “Paradise Lost”, so maybe I am wrong. But Milton's Satan was first and foremost, I think, rebellious. Satan's will was his own, NOT God's, he was so to speak his own man. He could not regain Paradise b...

My synopsis of Lord Byron’s poem “Darkness:” Planet Earth is in trouble. The sun goes out. Plants are dying. There’s nothing to eat. People burn everything they could for light and warmth. And then, after everyone is dead, two last women approach the last fire and look at each other…and die from lau...
Santa’s Little Helper is a fab read and something a little different for author H D Gordon.

Ten were born before 1600, another six in the 17th century, twelve in the 18th century, and two in the 20th century. So 28 were born in the 19th c...
This is one of my favorite poems, the beauty and perfection in its words makes it hard not to love it. I can read it over and over again and I'll always find myself trapped in its lines. It's short but so meaningful, at least to me.
Napisana (czy może raczej - przetłumaczona) naprawdę przepięknie; melodyjność rymów sprawia, że opowieść wręcz sama płynie. Troszkę szkoda, że taka krótka... Na plus idą też na pewno egzotyczne miejsce akcji i niejednoznaczny moralnie główny bohater. Po raz kolejny przy utworze z okresu romantyzmu w...
As a freshman in high school, I took Brit Lit this year. We read A Tale of Two Cities and Lord of the Flies over the summer, and I absolutely could not stand (or understand) ATTC, and LOTF was not much better. We started off the year with Beowulf, which was decent but a little to predictable for my ...
