Shelley said in one of his essays that Milton's devil is morally superior to God (which is something Shelley, of all people, would totally say).

I've generally contrasted Milton's devil with that of Dante and the ones depicted in the Faustian legends. Milton's is certainly the most sympathetic one, and I think he just plays more at, you know, the things that make us suffer and whatnot.

Forgive me for my incoherent ramblings. I'm quite tired.

Sup c/lit/ commanders? I need some feedback on a poem I wrote today. Positive or negative criticism are both welcome. Here is the poem:

Marianas Trench

Let us go, you and me

To the deepest part of the sea

Sinking through the depths

This is the most at peace we will ever be

Take my hand, together we go

Drifting out of consciousness

Towards the ocean floor

There will only be just us three

You, me and the sea

In a state of never ending tranquility

Forever we shall dream the dream

Of Eternity.
