On Hedonism and the Weather

My professor who taught Milton claimed that it was impossible to understand any of the deeper authors (i.e. Milton) in a place like California. He also got really upset if any of us accidentally left out the t. You could watch veins pop on his forehead by saying "Mil'en."

Of course people in places with nice weather still have tragedies and still manage to have dark nights of the soul. That said, the natural state of being on a perfect 70 degree day in San Francisco is not sadness.
