Because /lit/ is a congregation of teen plebs.

We used to have theology threads quite a bit, but I think they all migrated to /his/.

What did OP mean by this?

Black Orchid
drips with starry
dew vapour

Deerdeath stench
reeks red on
green meadow

Mirror shines
the sun eclipsed;
little angel

Red slate roof
shingles plate
the sick child

some of my more recent r8 me

Let's tear us apart
and clean the blood while we laugh.
We are broken glass.

I don't know how to count syllabes in english.

I have written some this morning here in the office (came here to study and ended up writing some small poems). I use 3 verses, but not with the 5-7-5 metric. I use 3 verses of 10 poetic syllables.

The originals are in Portuguese. I will post the translations first, and then the originals.

1) Both alone, me and Peter- Hobbler*, the dog.
He suffers with the scratching of scabies on his flesh
Me with the scabies of poetry on my brain.

2) Paws crossed, eyes half open,
In docile meditation the cat submerges:
More than in myself the Buddha inhabits in him

3) If the mind, when crude, is a tamarin, mine
Is a whole clan of tamarins, with flies, with fleas,
And the chaos of this festival of itchiness.

4) My thoughts fly up, swim among the galaxies,
Sperm searching for the egg of God;
But my belly growls, and suddenly I fall.

*Peter-Hobbler (in Portuguese: Pedro Manco) is a street dog that people in the firm adopted. He is accustomed to hang out inside the office building. He is with me here on this fine Saturday morning. He suffers with scabies and was hit by a car. He was saved by people in a do-shelter and adopted by the owners of the firm.


Originals

1) Sozinhos, eu e Pedro-Manco, o cão.
Ele sofre a coçar sarna na carne,
Eu a sarna poética em meu cérebro.

2) Patas cruzadas, olhos semi-abertos,
Em dócil meditar submerge o gato:
Mais do que em mim habita nele o Buda.

3) Se a mente, quando crua, é um mico, a minha
É um clã de micos, com moscas, com pulgas,
E o caos do festival dessa coceira.

4) Meu pensar voa, nada entre as galáxias,
Esperma a buscar o óvulo de Deus;
Mas a barriga ronca e eu caio, súbito.

People here know their shit

Sartre said that if he had read Krleža's Filip Latinovicz first, he would not have bothered writing Nausea.

>implying yugos refer to their literature as yugoslav literature

Come on, you well know they think in terms of national literature.

>"Oh yeah? Well why don't you put your penis where my vagina is?" She said.
>I grab my rock hard dick and slam it into her Dr Scholl's Gel Insert soft pussy. She moans like Casper the Friendly Ghost as her wet cunt squeezes like a respectable handshake on my cock.
>"I'm gonna shoot my goo!" I tell her, ready to blow my load.
>"Do it! Pour your enriched uranium into my nuclear reactor!" She shouted like an NFL referee, minge quivering like tectonic plates on my dingaling.

I found exactly one part of this funny. Guess which.

Could you make whatever you're talking about simpler, because I couldn't understand it.

Every post gets turned into a paragraph in a Wordpad document if it is posted in this thread; I'll delete it afterwards because I don't want to plagiarise, but I wanted to see what would happen

>>9204777
Also: putting a word between && changes all words that are spelt the same into the name of the WordPad document.

The name of the WordPad document changes every time someone has a post No. that ends in two of the same numbers or more, like dubs

>>9238145
Yes

No, you bought the best history on the topic ever written.

Don't let the memesters tell you different.

It's very opiniated and biased and that's not something you want from an introductory textbook. But it's well written and quite ambitious in scope

>>9237238
Yes. Milton is one of the worst English poets and definitely the most overrated

Anglos are not human so it works out

>>9237238
No. Milton is one of the greatest English poets and definitely is not to be underrated.

>>9236928
It is but it's good.

You're in for a masterpiece with one or two implied erotic scenes that gets the most retarded discussion on 4chan.

>>9236489

No it's not "philosophy", it's salvific theology, which is two tiers above philosophy.

/r9k/ in human form.

There used to be an amazing copypasta about Nietzsche encountering a shepherd and one of his sheep dogs while on one of his walks in the mountains.

he was a good boy
