Normally I get the pre-semester jitters, thinking "oh this will be so hard." But not really this time. No, this time I wasn't jittery or concerned...I should have been. I certainly should have been. My first day in class was upsetting and ridiculous, and I have come to doubt a lot of things.
So, I thought I would dedicate this blog to Doubt. To describe "doubt" in all it's glory, I need Dante.
from the Inferno
Canto II Lines 31-35
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321)
Translation by Robert Pinsky
And then, Like one who unchooses his own choice
And thinking again undoes what he has started,
So I became: a nullifying unease
Overcame my soul on that dark slope and voided
The undertaking I had so quickly embraced.
