>train my poetry

Maybe learn English first.

Best way to train your poetry is to fill a glass with ice cubes, pour lots of salt in it then add vinegar.

Drink this potion every day for a month and you will be the greatest poet since Homer.

It's a shitty fad that pseudo-intellectuals praise because it makes them seem smarter to them and their pseduo-intellectual crowd.

poor b8. Neoreactionaries generally accept that homosexuality is impossible to eradicate and not a problem in itself. The problem is political homosexuality which makes up <5% of the homosexual population and is despised by Conservatives, Marxists, Communists, Old Liberals, and others. The 17th century is far off to. I would give you a 3/10 as opposed to 2/10 if you had said 12th century or 11th century.

I love it, but it is a divisive read. If you take a generally aesthetically minded approach towards literature then I'm sure you will enjoy at least elements of it, Wilde wrote beautifully for the sake of beauty. On the other hand, if you generally prefer your literature more socially minded or drift towards 'realism' it may not be the right book for you.

retards on /lit/ do that everyday

a master's?

>I would have liked to transfer this dissertation to HyperCard, and hand it in on disk - but Mr. John Nash was intelligent enough to counsel against this, and I was intelligent enough to heed his warnings. To compensate for the paper presentation of what was originally intended as a hypertextual document, I have included an admittedly incomplete network of cross-references within the text itself. Wherever the reader sees a bracketed number and letter (i.e. -- {38V}), he/she/it has the option to ignore it and keep reading, or to go to the chapter and paragraph indicated in the brackets.

>Ignoring all of the bracketed 'links' will result in a straightforward, linear reading. Following all of them will result in an endless reading experience, one involving unbearable redundancy. I hope that most people will choose something in-between.

lmao

The one I have is the library of literature (Bobbs-Merrill company). It has excellent footnotes and the cover is just Orange with black and white writing.

>>8266533

>Prefer the song desu
song really hits you after you read the book tho

"Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy
Come home, I'm so cold!
Let me in-a-your window"

Katy is such a fucking bitch tho.

I want my perfect blonde family but still my some gypsie cock on the size. The shit she does to her husband is fucking unreal. savage even

I do enjoy the ghost stuff too, I think Em had a special sense and it shows in the way she writes about that stuff, like a natural intuition about it, like probably helps she was such a fucking autist aswell

Oxford Guide to Writing is also a good one if you're willing to treat it like a workbook and go through the exercises step by step.

Read King's On Writing. If you use adverbs, ever, you are a literal idiot, and your writing sucks.
