Grew up in Ontario, settled in Wisconsin. I make plans that fail, and also play the lute.

Mammon goes one better. It is hard to select any lines as the kernel of his speech; it is all kernel. If I had to, I should choose the lines Nor want we skill or art from whence to raise Magnificence; and what can Heav'n show more? (272) *and what can Heav'n show more?* In those words we read Mammon to the very bottom. He believes that Hell can be made into a *substitute* for Heaven. For everything that has been lost, you can find something else that will do quite as well. Heaven was magnificent; if Hell is made equally magnificent it must be just as good. There was light in Heaven; if we produce artificial light, it will be just as good. There was darkness in Heaven: why then should we dislike the darkness of Hell? - for of course there can only be one kind of darkness. This is why Mammon is called 'the least erected spirit that fell from Heaven' (I, 679). He has never understood the difference between Hell and Heaven at all. - C.S. Lewis, A PREFACE TO PARADISE LOST

Michael Tae Sweeney @mtsw@mastodon.social The biography of every satanic death metal band is like "the members met while volunteering at a soup kitchen and bonded over their shared belief in animal rights" and the biography of every 60's hippie band is like "shortly before their collaboration with Charles Manson, the band nearly broke up after one member stabbed another for sleeping with the 14 year old girl he was human trafficking while on tour."
