As for Things of Process- or for Bronte's Aesthetics whose Act is not eternally invariable- "A fiend of a book – an incredible monster" "The action is laid in hell, – only it seems places and people have English names there." we must hold that these are due to the timely metre of the work; Causelessness is quite inadmissible as an explanation for such themes; we can make no place here for unwarranted "slantings, phrase etc" for sudden movement of tone apart from any initiating power within her work, for precipitate spurts in a soul with nothing to drive it into the new course of action as evidence by the actions of Heathcliff. Such causelessness would bind the Soul under an even sterner compulsion, no longer master of itself, but at the mercy of movements apart from will and cause. Something willed- within itself or without- something desired, must lead it to action; without motive it can have no motion -- all superbly visible in the characterisation of Linton.

One of my favourite novels. I wept multiple times.

Keats must've had no fucking hobbies if he wrote this waste of paper to describe brown and black porcelain

He says it all in the last few lines

The Urn and its images shall remain when civilisations, including his, are gone

It is good to contrast this poem to Shelleys Ozymandias

I tried to memorize it one time because it's beautiful to recite, and found the second stanza impossible to remember.
>Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
>Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;
>Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss
Three wonderful lines, yet I could never stick em to my brainlet

>every fucking day
Discuss it with your classmates and stop shitting up this board with your high school reading.

You never had random detailed daydreams when you were a teen? Dull fuck.

He didn't prove God. He only showed that there has to be some point where logic starts.

There's a huge leap from that to deism, and there's an even bigger leap from that to theism, let alone Christianity.

Better than glossing over too fast and not retaining what you're reading. I read fast and if I'm tired sometimes I read several pages and realize I forgot everything.

No, reading too fast because you want to boast about numbers is a bad thing.

Sub-vocalization is essential to comprehension and retention, and impossible to fully eliminate, in any case.

It's more political than the two you've read (and all his other books), but is just a good. Make sure you get an edition with the originally censored chapter "at Tikhon's". It makes one of the storylines make much more sense.

In moderation, it will probably keep you sane.

All reading is escapism tbg senpai.

About an hour every couple of days. I check my phone for texts (which are never there) every 10-15 minutes.
