Bloody sire by Robinson Jeffers. I doubt they have another poem half as edgy as this one
It is not bad. Let them play.
Let the guns bark and the bombing-plane
Speak his prodigious blasphemies.
It is not bad, it is high time,
Stark violence is still the sire of all the world’s values.
What but the wolf’s tooth whittled so fine
The fleet limbs of the antelope?
What but fear winged the birds, and hunger
Jewelled with such eyes the great goshawk’s head?
Violence has been the sire of all the world’s values.
Who would remember Helen’s face
Lacking the terrible halo of spears?
Who formed Christ but Herod and Caesar,
The cruel and bloody victories of Caesar?
Violence, the bloody sire of all the world’s values.
Never weep, let them play,
Old violence is not too old to beget new values.

Hello /lit/, I'm currently writing a paper on suicide, and how I believe it is a valid choice that people should be able to make that is completely moral. Are there any essays/books I could read on the subject to help me?

One of the saddest things is that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can’t eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours—all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.

Is there any way to recognize purple prose in your own writing?
What's your personal guideline to circumventing it?
I honestly can't tell if my writing is purple. That must mean that I am an objectively bad writer...

Not so much a fan. But one of his books was amazing. The way he described porn and wrestling and the overall fakeness behind it was imo mind-blowing.
I would have voted Trump (really third party, but you'll get my point) if I were American. But my Gott, isn't Trump like the biggest triumph of spectacle?

What is its purpose? Should the writer not try to create something as unique as possible?

because chances are, its already been done and done better in the past. think of it as a headnod to those that came before you and to those that understood the reference now.
