    Don't worry about it! Pilgrim's Progress was a good guess. I just use a lot of Shakespeare allusions in my work because all of my English teachers love him. My ...

    Thanks for the critiques, guys! As for the bonus points, kris was correct with the "Romeo and Juliet" allusion. The two lines, “Oh then, dear saint, let lips do what ...
