Don't you get it man!? Coldness and death. An unknowable vastness speckled with burning hells and speeding catastrophes for all eternity, but not here man, not on this mother fucking rock. No way. Here this happens. 5 stars.
I don't know what you know about literature or academia or life in general outside of poetv.com but a Ph.D. in medieval lit is no joke. Definitely not where I'm from.
Masters in Medieval History. My friends largely consist of people with MAs or PhDs which include Lit or Medieval somewhere in the description. The whole poverty aspect is an inside joke I suppose.
