Paradise Lost

@paradise-lost.bsky.social

Reserved him to more wrath;
for now the thought
Both of lost happiness and
lasting pain
Torments him: round he throws
his baleful eyes,
That witnessed huge affliction
and dismay,
Mixed with obdurate pride and
steadfast hate.

I, 54-58

Hiberno-English word/phrase of the day:

Daw

Simply put, a 'daw' is a foolish, silly person; it can also mean an obdurate, unreasoning person (though I've only heard it used in the first sense). E.g. "He's a right daw" (he's a stupid person), "She's no daw" (she's no fool).
