Below is a thesis for a possible paper I’ll be writing:
Science has at times been likened to the mythological basilisk “which kills what it sees and only sees by killing” (Lewis). The worldview which uses science as such a monster is sometimes called naturalism or even materialism. Edgar Allen Poe, as one of the Romantics, rebels against naturalism, and I intend to demonstrate that his poem, The Raven, is a metaphorical narrative showing the innately destitute nature of naturalism. Which is to say, the poem in question reflects upon the need of man to find light, Lenora, within the darkness, and that in naturalism’s rejection of anything beyond the physical world he invites the titular Raven, and its dread, repetitive call of nevermore, into his consciousness.
Sorry for this short post, but I’ve been watching live coverage of the midterms.

Republicans held the Senate and the Democrats took the House. So, everything went as expected; no surprises.

Depends on your point of view. No side really won, so six more weeks of winter or something like that.

I have no point of view of American politics. You vote or not, you get the result you voted for. That’s it. Stop your bitching, it’s the way it is. If people want change then they have to do something about it. Most people are lazy like me. So I don’t care and I accept the political status quo.
I like to hear what individuals think!! Their point of view.
