Ulysses

Jacopone is /lit/ as fuck

w-what

>>9141572

As air becomes the medium for light when the sun rises,
And as wax melts from the heat of fire,
So the soul drawn to that light is resplendent,
Feels self melt away,
Its will and actions no longer its own.
So clear is the imprint of God
That the soul, conquered, is conqueror;
Annihilated, it lives in triumph. What happens to the drop of wine
That you pour into the sea?
Does it remain itself, unchanged?
It is as if it never existed.
So it is with the soul: Love drinks it in,
It is united with Truth,
Its old nature fades away,
It is no longer master of itself.

by Jacopone da Todi

But we love talking about how inferior women are, so this thread is fucking awesome, cuck

>>9139235
Subtlety.

Don't have them say what happened directly. Nobody does this. Instead, drop subtle non-verbal hints (flinching when others get close or speak too loud, for instance), and only bring up why the character does these things if some investigation takes place.

If/when the subject does come up, don't linger on it, just discuss it briefly and move on. Trauma survivors don't talk about their trauma at length except with extremely close friends.

Finally, make a general commitment to take it seriously.

I wish my DM was charles manson

>>9139235
If its a female character, have her be cautious around men who are unfamiliar to her. Distrustful, unfriendly... But don't over do it.

Are there any authors that studied the history of necromancy?

>dude i want to reanimate a corpse to fuck it lmao

>I'm a faggot

Necromancy is just advanced hidromancy.

Wells was also critical of Swift. In a review of Portrait (Joyce), Wells said: "Like Swift and another living Irish writer, Mr. Joyce has a cloacal obsession. He would bring back into the general picture of life aspects which modern drainage and modern decorum have taken out of ordinary inter course and conversation."

From Don Gifford's Ulysses Annotated, page 137.

Who the hell is this Wells who demands I spend any time at all on his genre sci-shit over another literary writer far more acclaimed and intelligent than him?

>>9138855

Meh, just keep reading whatever seems interesting. The feeling of numbness is inevitable.

But if it's any good, I usually read sci-fi when feeling a bit dry and it gives me a reason to dream. (The early one though: with true science facts and no space opera bs)

>>9138867
>reason to dream
The other night I had a dream where I was quite possibly raped by a man
not really sure
I'm not numb, just feeling like I'm in the woods of hell, like Dante except I have no Virgil you feel me

Top woowoo.

I like them while i drive. Mostly sci-fi and non-fiction. I tend to save the heavy stuff for quiet reading

>>9139518
This. I drive trucks and do this all the time then when I'm at home read something heavy. Listen to Edith Hamilton mythology at the moment, so good.
