bouta save my diploma

so happy to have found this

Watching this during the Genocide of the Palestinian people, Haiti,Congo,Syria,Yemen,ecological collapse and a time of such moral turpitude that my soul shudders… I have seen heroes become villains,when words and truth seem to have lost its meaning and there is only the abyss… only the abyss. 🥹🙏🏽✊🏽🇵🇸

I just come back, year after year, and watch this on repeat. Sensational.

I'm here for an ode from Manchester orchestra's headman Andy. I can see the connection through soulful paths and intention. Thanks for sharing this 'thread' as JKS would say...

He is a moralist prick . Yawn

Milton in Love? Try Supernatural.

Amazing! What a clear interpretation of " A Complicated Kindness" which was a complicated novel for me and now due to Nick Mount I can clarified some questions in my mind about this story.

As a professor myself (a medievalist) I greatly appreciated this lecture and Prof. Stevens’ ability to make an excellent argument illuminating one of the western canon’s greatest works with such clarity and brilliance. He doesn’t lose himself in jargon, and he makes his points so clearly and carefully. Thank you!!

The usual lecturer's lame jokes . Cringeworthy. We're not here for a laugh Professor ...we're here to be intellectually challenged .!

This recovering mennonite thinks you're a rawk star! Thank-you xo

I am so honoured to have been his student. He's one of the best professors I've had at the University of Toronto.

Agree with Hazlitt about the lack of bodily deformity

Feeling like I need to eat drywall over this

A now I'm going to attempt Paradise Lost!!!

In another way, we are satans ourselves, at least some part of us belong to satan, but we love God, and we despise Satan, just like true Christians despise ourselves. Milton examed and confessed himself through the character of satan.

The most perturbed thing is watch a fat old and bald guy analyzing what is in the mind of one adolescent girl in other time in another part of the world. So what the fuk

I'm a Weakerthans fan, and have ALWAYS felt that they needed to be studied. The Lyricism is unlike anything today, that is except for The Mountain Goats. When the quote from Darnielle was read, I got goosebumps knowing that they know each other.

Devilishly well crafted video, I love Milton and the the comments produced many additional insights and interpretations, is you will, “Revelations”.

John K. Samson 🥰

Cracks me up that most people's religious beliefs come from poems (the divine comedy & paradise lost) not the Bible. Because the Bible states all evil is created by God (Isiah 45:7). Satan is but the punisher of evil. Not evil itself. The very moment one makes Satan evil they create polytheism.

Anchorless and Showdown (GEP) are my favorite John K Samson songs.

Reading her works...it evokes and provokes. And for that I am truly grateful .Evocative emotionally...especially in the voicing and witnessing of the destructiveness of fundamentalism. Provoked to embrace greater authenticity and away from mediocrity. To do so in good company at the personal, the familial and societal level (and yes, not like Holden Caulfield ).

oh man he sounded so much like Kermit when he said "crap" :)

Pseudo profound non sequiturs about ‘Aushwitz” are truly embarrassing in lectures. This is such a lame cliche that I can’t take the person’s ideas on literature seriously.

Brilliant.

I just invited him to my wedding.

Really interesting

This was absolutely wonderful.

Is the Satan in PL the same Satan in PR?

OMG...I've been misreading "virtute" as "virtue" for years

Wish every teacher was as great as NM.💗

This is the best on Milton's satan i've ever gone through

This moderator is so cringy.

..so... can i get a John K Samson/The Weakerthans - Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes 2021 tour???

How can the average person even hope to understand how to read this in the old language it is written in?

Among the best musical storytellers

I hope you do a vanity Google and find this. Fourth year, Queens, 1989, you introduced me to Theory. Blew. My. Mind. You'd cuss and get so worked up every lecture at some stage you'd take your sweater off and then take it to another level. You'd never give me an A because I put jokes in my footnotes. I thought that was fair. You made time for undergrads and took us to new places. Thank you.

B.s.

This guy is gross. He keeps licking his teeth and making slurping noises like he's finding food that's stuck in his gums... 👄🍖

He sounds a bit nervous, but the lecture is really fantastic teacher - I like it very much

Crap.

“As I stand before an unresponsive automatic door, just another door that won’t open for me anymore” Man, that is one of the heaviest lyrics...

you should really read ulysses

4:25 Reconstruction Site 8:58 Heart of the Continent 14:55 Bigfoot 18:15 When I Write My Master's Thesis 23:35 My Favourite Chords

This is just so... beautiful. I don't think there are any other words to describe this music

I'm so glad someone asked about Virtute

This guy can make me cry any time 100%. I should stop listening to The Weakerthanks / JKS in the office I guess.

Paradise Lost is not as Milton wrote. It is the Patriarchal religions clamping down in the cruellest way on the hitherto power of female fertility. In short. Womb Envy.
