Like a woman's scorn*

"The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve. The complete quote is "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned." This is where the contect is derived from.

Now, I'm not really certain where you attended college, or high school, but perhaps you should research a little bit before correcting people. You're incorrect in your correction.
 
Everyone accepts that William Congreve was the biggest pansy in all of Restoration period literature.

I adore restoration era lit. And I loathe William Congreve.

He is a no talent hack who wished he had the guts to be a Lord Rochester. Spineless pansy.

I think I wrote an essay once on why he should NOT be included in a restoration period syllabus.

dedicated to shak :P

speaking of crab talk back there, anyone know what happened to the thread that was titled ig and blackhand? the one that had the screenshot convo of how an ig family admin said some ig council members weren't exactly comfortable with how the osw started etc. Not word for word but it was towards that extent; it's missing again all of the sudden :roll:

Admittedly, I cannot debate literature, but John Wilmot is far more interesting to read than most. Between him and John Dryden, there is enough lewdness to keep my feeble brain interested.
 
Dryden was a pawn. Poet laureate that should have gone to Alexander Pope.

Wilmot at least had the guts to die with dignity! (Shriveled and insane from syphilis)
 
Syphilis. Booze. Women. He was the Keith Richards of his time...

Why does everyone hate on Dryden, though. I did a paper on Marriage A-la-Mode, was pretty decent.
