>>9062660
Latin most likely (unless you got a problem with old stuff)

>>9062660
>hasn't been translated

Even if it has been translated the translation definitely pales in comparison to the original.

>>9062665
Hell no. Latin has such a low volume of shit written for it compared to any living language. Learn french.

Harold Bloom's novel is the greatest reason why I don't listen to him

The opinion of "critics" who have never written a good work is completely worthless.

So the only critic you listen to is Susan Sontag?

>>9062581

Does one truly need to be a good creator to be a "good" critic? I would think that the quality/appeal of a critic comes more from what knowledge of the field they bring and how they can broaden the reading of a work.

I don't need to have released an album to know when a song is "bad" or "good" or to recommend that song to friends. I don't see why a critic HAS to be an author also.

I've been checking around for his short story collection that was apaprently highly influential on Melville but I can't find it. I've never read and Hawthorne but from what Melville's said of him I have a pretty high opinion going in.

Couldn't commit. Was in love in Regine Olsen, but just platonic.
He was probably gay, though never came out.

Absolutely nothing.

"When I was very young, I forgot in the Trophonean cave how to laugh; when I became an adult, when I opened my eyes and saw actuality, then I started to laugh and have never stopped laughing since that time. I saw that the meaning of life was to make a living, its goal to be- come a councilor, that the rich delight oflove was to acquire a well-to-do girl, that the blessedness of friendship was to help each other in financial difficulties, that wisdom was whatever the majority assumed it to be, that enthusiasm was to give a speech, that courage was to risk being fined ten dollars, that cordiality was to say "May it do you good" after a meal, that piety was to go to communion once a year. This I saw, and I laughed."

I don't get this joke

Enmity is focused on a particular person or group, hurtfulness can be a general attitude to others.

Enmity is a certain kind of relationship, hurtfulness is certain kind of intention.
