(Momentarily SUSPENDING the EMPHASIS CAPS, because it's quite TIRING. He was talking about the Civil War, and how Whitman glorified it because the notion of men being in close contact with each other and the sense of brotherhood etc. "excited" him. Then he went on to imply that Whitman hit on mutilated soldiers while he was working in a military hospital and... it wasn't so much what he was saying, but the way he said it. All like, "Look what a filthy homosexual!" It made me very angry. Especially when he read a bit of The Wound-Dresser ["Many a soldier's loving arms about this neck have cross'd and rested / Many a soldier's kiss dwells on these bearded lips"] and some guy behind me said "Gross." I-- just. SO ANGRY. I'm willing to forgive the fact that the lecture was of an appallingly low level, and the lecturer's English of an even lower level, but I should not be expected to deal with homophobic morons on a Tuesday morning.)
\o/. Evening classes, bah. Yes, it is very slow, but I love it a lot. I hope you'll give it another shot ce soir. Travel by Sea is composed of two people who have NEVER MET. !
Ugh. Try pasting the CSS into the box in the customize area? That tends to work loads better/faster than external CSS.
