'Paradise Lost' is the most metal piece of literature

[xfer]

Seriously, it's artistically brilliant, triumphant and in-your face, poetic and romantic and beautiful, really brutal at times, makes the argument for beauty and evil working well in combination, and the entire thing is basically justifying Satan's revolt against Heaven and humanizing a dude who used to just be a concept before that. Agreed?

five scene points to whoever can point out the post that made me think of Paradise Lost.

LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!

get your beanbags ready.

i can see your angle here. but there are some novels that could be considered to be of equal metal-ness. i wish robina were here she could argue the metal-ness of faulkner.

I am all about discussing and maybe being proved wrong. I don't think the word YOKNAPATAWPHA sounds nearly as metal and PANDEMONIUM, though.
