Hey, where did we go? (Days when the rain came)

Yay rain! I got to splash in it, and the mail only got a little bit wet.

Anyway, IFAMAQ! I nearly forgot, and then got wrapped up in work and forgot again.

Enh. I was disappointed that I had to read each of those three times before I understood them.

If it's any consolation, that was Milton's intention - IIRC from my reading, he intended for people to have to work to figure out his meaning rather than being able to glean it from a single glance at the page.

Of course, Paradise Lost also contained all sorts of heretical anti-Catholic themes, too, which might've had something to do with it. ;)
