Godmorgon Mastodoningar!

Paradise lost, pepparmintste och gryning över ett förändrat sverige.

"Farwell happy fields where joy for ever dwells: hail horrours, hail infernal world, and thou profundest hell receive thy new posessor: one who brings a mind not to be chang'd by place or time."

Satan är rejält poetisk i denna mörka och vackra bok.

[New York Review of Books]: A Milton for All Seasons. By Catherine Nicholson
The many radical rereadings of Paradise Lost. March 27, 2025 issue

Detail from a study for a new linocut. I’ve sketched out a few ideas and am at the stage now where I’m wondering about lettering and scale. Been playing with a test piece to see what I can do. The line is from Milton’s Paradise Lost.

'O, welcome, pure-eyed Faith, white-handed Hope,
Thou hovering angel, girt with golden wings!'
– MILTON

Excerpt From
Daniel Deronda
George Eliot

"The epigraph reflects the importance of maintaining faith and hope during moments of moral or emotional trial."

After going through #Debby, #Helene and #Milton in 2024 and now witnessing these wildfires from afar, I can’t help but experience it as all one big event, which I guess in a sense it is: #Koyaanisqatsi or “life out of balance.” Considering #climatechange, #landmanagement and #development issues, it all feels so complicated to solve. So much needs undoing and redoing.

#Naturkatastrophen verursachten 2024 weltweit #Schäden von 320 Milliarden Dollar – das drittteuerste Jahr seit 1980.

Besonders betroffen war #Nordamerika, vor allem durch Hurricanes "#Helene" und "#Milton".

Auch #Europa verzeichnete starke #Überschwemmungen, blieb jedoch vergleichsweise glimpflich. Laut #MunichRe verstärken der #Klimawandel und steigende #Wassertemperaturen extreme #Wetterereignisse.

**The HARDEST BOOK I Ever Read and ... How ANYONE Can Read It**

Rob Pirie - The Cause

_“The poem is written in blank verse in iambic pentameter. The poem makes music when read correctly which allows the poem to have a charm and enchantment I have never experienced in any other book.”_

“Great benefactors of mankind, deliverers,
Whose deeds some nobler poem shall adorn.”

John Milton’s Paradise Regained (1671), Book III, line 82.

'In this passage, Milton reflects on the nature of true greatness and the role of those who genuinely benefit humanity, contrasting them with false heroes or superficial achievers.'

Followup: A Flood Warning issued from @NWSTampaBay from Hurricane #Milton ended just before Thanksgiving after being in effect for 50 days. Only one Flood Warning by NWS-Tampa lasted longer, one in July 2015 that was in effect for 70 days.
