More From John Milton

The young mouse's eyes snapped open, clear and bright. he swung the ancient sword high and struck at the giant adder. he struck for redwall! he struck against evil! he struck for martin! he struck for log-a-log and his shrews! he struck for dead guosim! he struck as methuselah would have wanted him to! he struck against cluny the scourge and tyranny! he struck out against captain snow's ridicule! he struck for the world of light and freedom! he struck until his paws ached and the sword fell from them!
Eye Light Snow
There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.
Loneliness Animal Moon
Freedom is only to be found where there is burden to be shouldered. in creative achievements this burden always represents an imperative and a need that weighs heavily upon man’s mood, so that he comes to be in a mood of melancholy. all creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, whether we are clearly aware of the fact or not, whether we speak at length about it or not. all creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, but this is not to say that everyone in a melancholy mood is creative.

The moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space i shall never fully know. but the moon that pulls the tides, and the moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. . . . when we describe the moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. when we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.
Moon Night Sky
What was supposed to be so special about a full moon? it was only a big circle of light. and the dark of the moon was only darkness. but halfway between the two, when the moon was between the worlds of light and dark, when even the moon lived on the edge...maybe then a witch could believe in the moon.

Terence, this is stupid stuff: you eat your victuals fast enough; there can't be much amiss, 'tis clear, to see the rate you drink your beer. but oh, good lord, the verse you make, it gives a chap the belly-ache. the cow, the old cow, she is dead; it sleeps well the horned head: we poor lads, 'tis our turn now to hear such tunes as killed the cow. pretty friendship 'tis to rhyme your friends to death before their time. moping, melancholy mad: come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.

It is hard to stay patient about policy matters where everybody agrees about what needs to be done and then it just doesn't happen, like reforming the immigration system and getting rid of family immigration jails and closing guantanamo and criminal-justice reform. all these issues, there is basically consensus. there's no rational objections whatsoever, but it can't happen because of other stupid steps we have to take in politics.

I giggled out loud at his stupidity. if anyone knew how to make a bed, it was a faggot.
Stupidity Bed Loud
I have no motif, only motivation. i believe that motivation is the real thing, the natural thing, and that the motif is old-fashioned, even reactionary (as stupid as the question about the meaning of life)
