What American author wrote an epic poem that is longer than Milton’s Paradise Lost? The answer surprised me.
But Time the cruel, whose smooth way
Is feline, patient for the prey
That to this twig of being clings;
And Fate, which from her ambush springs
And drags the loiterer soon or late
Unto a sequel unforeseen.
— Jerusalem “Nathan” I.17.331-337, Clarel
