Should have studied Latin longer and harder. Maybe I’ll try to pick up a little of it again. That sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, Google Translate seems easier.

Lewis has given me an inkling of many poets whose work I may not choose ever to encounter again, and some I may. It’s good to know these things. Pausing this for now.

When I started, I intended only to read (or reread) the first chapter, on courtly love. But literary history and criticism intrigue me, and I haven’t stopped reading yet.

TIL the word “palinode,” which Lewis uses to mean a book that reverses itself, one that espouses a stance and then retracts it. A medieval book of instruction by Andreas Capellanus, seemingly on the art of love, does this.
