Scholastic Achievement Test

Feb 04

By Roderick

More juvenilia: Whether What Is Transcendent Is Dependent (unsuccessful parody of medieval philosophy, age 19).

Sep 09

By Roderick

I laughed when Nero’s minions sent fire-tortured souls to the sky. Without the walls of Pilate’s halls, I shouted “Crucify!” I roared my glee to the sullen sea where Abel’s blood was shed. My jeer was loud in the gory crowd that stoned St. Stephen dead. — Robert E. Howard Even if the death penalty [...]
