Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

To whom the Angel with
contracted brow.
Accuse not Nature, she hath
done her part;
Do thou but thine; and be not
diffident
Of Wisdom; she deserts thee
not, if thou
Dismiss not her, when most
thou needest her nigh,
By attributing overmuch to
things

VIII, 560-565

“I can’t recall a winning party understating a mandate, let alone a once-in-a-lifetime realignment election.” I don’t recall Mitch McConnell or Tom DeLay being diffident about Republicans’ agenda in victory, or even in defeat.
