69 minute read.

That is not nice.

Reminds me of the poetic reaction to the epic poem (1400+ lines) about May by Herman Gorter. In reaction to this Hendrik de Vries wrote: (Loosely translated, with the ABBBA rhyme scheme destroyed, im sorry)

"Gorter, Gorter!

I wanted to read your Maycanto

But soon I was afraid

That I, before I died, would not be able to finish it.

Shorter! Shorter! Shorter!"

OG in Dutch: "Gorter, Gorter!

'k Heb uw Meizang willen lezen

Maar begon al gauw te vrezen

Dat het, voor mijn dood, niet uit zou wezen.

Korter! Korter! Korter!"

Not that relevant, but I always thought it was a fun story, and it is a nice piece of poetic shade thrown.

Edit: formatting eurgh.
