Don't even mention that unless youve read the works of Homer, Virgil, Ovid, and Milton in their original language. You might have been able to get away with translations of Nietzsche and Plato for Dies Irae, but these poems are written in meter that gives importance to the original language and often times add subtleties to the stories.
I'm curious as to how long DI actually is. Took me 2 fucking weeks to read through it while i blazed through MLA in like 4-6 days.
I have two whole months sick leave, so I should be fine.
Not really surprising. Dies irae is full of thought provoking meaningful dialogues and themes that really make you sit back in your chair and digest what you read. MLA is basically just an action popcorn flick with not much substance so you just fly through the dialogue.
Hmm. It really gets the old noggin juices flowing.
