A word for a racist attack is about one race but applies to all other races, we're not supposed to be careful with the definition; this word is the roar of a man exemplified.
I hate blacks, and because I hate blacks, I'll probably hate chinese too - simply though, I am hate blacks.
Racial Hell isn't ever desirable, it's alike being trapped in a suit and being the center of attention in a man-made act on Earth.

I've put it down twice today, just trying to finish the Octet chapter. This thread and my current /lit/ lurking is another break from the constant run-on sentences discussing a point that was clearly explained two pages ago but is going to continue for 5 more.

His worst book by far. Says nothing new whatsoever. Overly cute narrative games with no other purpose than to say "I'm clever aren't I, teeheehee!" Terrible prose, cringe-worthy dialogue. Very shallow analysis of male-female dynamics. Some funny moments, but that's about it. Oblivion is much better.
What are some books that will help me to develop discipline? I'm a lazy cunt, but also a bit ambitious, so I figured I need to straighten the fuck up in order to reach my goals.

The Cucking of Apollo
Tender is a night that loves, and lays,
And lets astray lover’s hands. Leaving
As though the sun were brimmed in it
To style flesh against ebony. Let
The lovers learn they are, again, again
Until the dusk sinks in their skin
And even then, let them persist
To drink the draught. Fears hove in
To the cradle which they might lay
To bear love’s illusory, listless in spring.
From the morning that Apollo stretched
And held Daphne. Her arms were raped
By the wooden veins that spurned him in
To a tyrant, now meek as kin
In lust-ness, hard and suppliant
To will bereft from those – his own
Cry broke the pallid dawn. His ears
Sought voices illuminant. Venturing
Into the underworld of himself, in gold
As a babe rising to meet the sin.
In Abyssal depths, did stroke his load
Though much ascended – nothing gained
But loathing himself. Zeus bemused
And Leto manifested on the lucid plane
Of Apollo’s sight. His knees were wrathed
By the edging of the grit, and hovered
Above the longing caul. He suffered
Through the marking of his mews
Until doves, white and pastel skied
Un-urged his heaven, limned the sun
To colour modes and wine-dark seas
And between his fingers, mortal dripped
Into the come-coming craft of clay.

Well, I had to go down and see a guy named Mr. Goldsmith
A nasty, dirty, double-crossin', back-stabbin' phony I didn't want to have to deal with
But I did it for you
And all you gave me was a smile
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile
I don't carry dead weight, I'm no flash in the pan
All right, I'll set you straight, can't you see I'm a union man?
I'm lettin' the cat out of the cage, I'm keeping a low profile
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Feel like a fighting rooster, feel better than I ever felt
But the Pennsylvania line's in an awful mess and the Denver road is about to melt
I went to the church house, every day I go an extra mile
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Last night 'cross the alley there was a pounding on the walls
It must have been Don Pasquale makin' a two a.m. booty call
To break a trusting heart like mine was just your style
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile
I'm on the fringes of the night, fighting back tears that I can't control
Some people they ain't human, they got no heart or soul
Well, I'm crying to The Lord, I'm tryin' to be meek and mild
Yes, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Well, there's preachers in the pulpits and babies in the cribs
I'm longin' for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs
I'm gonna buy me a barrel of whiskey, I'll die before I turn senile
Yes, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Well, you bet on a horse and it ran on the wrong way
I always said you'd be sorry and today could be the day
I might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trial
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile

"If a human being did not have an eternal consciousness, if underlying everything there were only a wild, fermenting power that writhing in dark passions produced everything, be it significant or insignificant, if a vast, never appeased emptiness is beneath everything, what would life be then but despair?"
-Fear and Trembling
Haha thanks Kierkegaard, y-you too.

You read fear and trembling?
I got through the Abraham chapter at the start and was struck by it. Then life intruded.
The idea that all of your life can be held back, then pored into this one perfect thing, this thing that you are asked to throw away in your passion.
Striking stuff

No, I'm not a christfag. I'm actually lamenting that he writes these scathing criticisms of life then says but it's okay because I have God but I don't. So I'm a sad boy.

When Harold Bloom says things like, "[Hart Crane] has a real openness to the daemonic influx." What the fuck does he mean?

read 'inspiration,' if that helps. But one with respect to the entire Western poetic tradition, and therefore one (daemonic) with what might be called a certain 'personality' (not an Eastern poetic daemon, for instance). A rough guess merely. Moot.

How can someone not have an ego?
>>
>>9817445
Maybe I should have specified. Without the conflicting patterns of ego. You know, the ones that lead to egregious emotions like pride.
>>
>>9817439
Most philosophy about this talks about keeping egoistic feelings in check, not about them being absence from the very conception of the intellect. I'd wager that it comes naturally just like friction comes naturally when you try to move (with frictionless movement being only an exemplary ideal).

Still, to pray is to put your faith in God to do whatever is in his plan, which is to accept defeat if that is what he gives you.

Il visconte dimezzato,
Il barone rampante,
Il cavaliere inesistente,
by Italo Calvino
>how hard is pinocchio?
Here's the incipit:
C'era una volta...
– Un re! – diranno subito i miei piccoli lettori. No, ragazzi, avete sbagliato. C'era una volta un pezzo di legno.
Non era un legno di lusso, ma un semplice pezzo da catasta, di quelli che d'inverno si mettono nelle stufe e nei caminetti per accendere il fuoco e per riscaldare le stanze.

i think kids tales are usually written in a kind of archaic language so kids can learn weird verbs and stuff that you don't really find in normal speech.
so probably young adult novel shit would be easier

>In 2004 author Naomi Wolf wrote an article for New York Magazine accusing Harold Bloom of a sexual "encroachment" more than two decades earlier, by touching her thigh. She said that what she alleged Bloom did was not harassment, either legally or emotionally, and she did not think herself a "victim", but that she had harbored this secret for 21 years. Explaining why she had finally gone public with the charges, Wolf wrote, "I began, nearly a year ago, to try—privately—to start a conversation with my alma mater that would reassure me that steps had been taken in the ensuing years to ensure that unwanted sexual advances of this sort weren't still occurring. I expected Yale to be responsive. After nine months and many calls and e-mails, I was shocked to conclude that the atmosphere of collusion that had helped to keep me quiet twenty years ago was still intact—as secretive as a Masonic lodge." When asked about the allegations in 2015, Bloom stated, "I refuse to even use the name of this person. I call her Dracula's daughter, because her father was a Dracula scholar. I have never in my life been indoors with Dracula's daughter. When she came to the door of my house unbidden, my youngest son turned her away. Once, I was walking up to campus, and she fell in with me and said, 'May I walk with you, Professor Bloom?' I said nothing."
LOL

So she admits herself that even if it's true there wasn't actually any misconduct but tries to peddle it as such
>>
>>9817331
I admit that I've only skimmed Wolf's wikipedia page but it seems more than likely that she is in the wrong here.
>>
>>9817331
so did this really happen or is Harold's right and she is just writing fanfiction about how her crush totally made a move on her?
i mean i can believe both stories, it's the right amount of retardation for most men and most women to follow any of those 2 stories.

If you're recording what you read on goodreads, should you record the Bible as one book or should you record each individual book of the Bible you read?
I'm leaning towards the latter being the patrician choice.

One book obviously

The latter because you can rate each book individually and you also appear more well-read.
