Nice try, authoritarian psy-ops. I'm going to EMP bomb your shit, fair warning.

The only thing that made sense was going balls-deep into Julia before getting brainwashed back into a functioning member of society.

You could always read the Eternal Recommendation, Stoner by John Williams.
Sons and Lovers by DH Lawrence
It's set in New York but I think Washington Square by James might have what you're looking for

Thomas Hardy's Wessex Tales

Maupassant has a lot of grim pastoral stories.

>pic

I don't think that comma belongs anywhere in that sentence, but I could be wrong.

>>8722037
what the fuck you mean modern age? contemporary? cause romanticism is part of modernity.

for contemporary stuff id go check in france maybe, but the thing is that poetry like that can only emerge in a world that is in a process of an important change. and we are in the middle of a well established model. thats not stimulating enough for things of quality to grow.

Fall returned to me my heart, and with it whatever else it takes that saps my creativity come the warmer seasons... Some creatives may be more creative if they are sad.

Not sure what the solution is besides adderall because that worked wonders. I was hoping I could quit and keep my good habits but it didn't workout that way.

Who cares, none of them were that smart - they were politicians not intellectuals or academics. None of them could, for example, compare to Kant or Laplace, both of whom lived at the end of the 18th century.

Courtney read books, even though she was a girl. She knew all about the big, hard modernists and post-modernists, and could speak numerous languages. But there was a problem. Courtney was dead.

Well that just blows, sorry Courtney! Dead or alive, she should check this out! https://www.wattpad.com/333772122-absence-of-being

I don't know why the most interesting part of the image is occupying the least interesting space. It just seems like he's looking out at something, but there's nothing else in the picture besides him and the text. Also, why is he so small compared to the title? He looks like a manlet or something.

last night I had a dream that a young black girl was coming on to me. I had an incredible feeling of potency and I told her that I was going to repay her debt.

I think it was cause my professor last semester had made the point that in many of shakespeare's works, sex was linked to money. And also in the wife of bath's tale, she says something about husbands and wives fucking being what they owe each other or something. In the neo freudian world that metaphor has vanished but it came back in my dream and I must say that it's quite an interesting way to look at it

A few nights ago I dreamt I entered a gin drinking contest with David Foster Wallace as my teammate. We were against a bunch of other college students and I wanted to impress him by buying expensive Gin, but he just wanted the cheap stuff. Oh yeah the liquor store had a stage and seating set up.

We were getting ready to start and then he asked my favorite E for everyone movie and I choked up and then woke up.

lol

I never took it serious until I saw on it on a list of recommended reading from a venture capital firm that was like "if you want to get capital from us, you should probably have read these" and most were like business and/or tech books, except for that one...so i was like ok let me see it, downloaded the audiobook listened on a commute and i was like ok this is the real deal...most of the poor social skills spergs on 4chan could benefit greatly from it.

>How be a beta cuck 101

Yeah no thanks.

For such a popular book, it doesn't seem to have done much good for the world or the interpersonal relationships of those who've read it.

No one creates value ex nihilo. Unless you're some sort of fanatic or madman, 99% of your values are just those of your society and Zeitgeist, with the personal 1% being the innocuous portion.

Oh, and serious criminals I suppose would also be an exception.

>tfw too intelligent to sit down and read

the Enuma Elish is older, but that doesn't mean it's worth reading. unless you like to explore texts from the period in history right after people actually started writing. there's a weird quality to narratives from back then. i'm surprised how much of it has survived to today.

summarized: people believed weird shit.

And they still do. Time is truly a circle.
