Authoritarian Governments and Paradise Lost Retellings
“I am proud to report that the rhythm of our work was not thrown off by this for a second—no one batted an eye; and we, and our machines, went on with our linear and circular motions with the same precision as ever, as though nothing had happened.”
— We , Yevgeny Zamyatin
As I read We, I marked Zamyatin’s lines in red. The day before, Alex Pretti was shot in the streets of Minne

“The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.”
― Lyrical Ballads
― Lyrical Ballads
“The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.—Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
― The Major Works

“For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.”
― Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey

“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds -- justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can't go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.”
