excerpt from music to my ears
john devine

my meanderings into the shaded grove of poetry seemed like the perfect escape from my father’s medical mumbo jumbo until i realized in college that my literature professors often sounded as poetic as a ten-car pileup. i recall in particular one professor who asked us to read a poem by alexander pope called the r-ape of the lock, a humorous poem about a young man who cuts off a wisp of a young woman’s hair. sounds pretty straightforward, right? well, before i knew what was what, my young professor demanded that i “deconstruct” the poem and analyze it for evidence of what she called “commodity fet-ishism.” “i want to read the thing,” i told her, “not pull it apart.” and when i asked her what commodity fet-ishism was, she looked at me as if i were some inferior life form. “look it up! ” said she, frowning. i had to pull an all-nighter to finish that assignment in time. it wasn't long before she had me writing a paper on the evils of eurocentric curricula. i finally put my foot down when she demanded that i attend her lecture on the perils of islamaphobia.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
