I took a Swift seminar in grad school

God, what a miserable experience that was. Some of that was the professor's fault--he was, I later found out, in the middle of getting fired for sexual harassment and had thus stopped giving a shit--but Dean Swift is also very tiresome company. Some of the Stella poems are nice, and the footnotes in Tale of a Tub are vaguely interesting, in a technical sense, but pretty much everything else is dull and unpleasant.
