npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 (npub1zdp…vqv8) I think what this illustrates to me is that we actually DON'T understand much about texts over 100 years old. I picked up about half of what's happening here, and without the tumblr explainer would have thought that I'd "got it". Likewise, how much of old texts do we think we understand?

Hell, even something like Inferno and Divine Comedy were meant to be satire, and the Catholic church took a lot of it and said, "Yeah, that's our religion."
