I'm monolingual and I'm over 25 so it's too late for me to learn any other language fluently.

It's very nice. It feels like a cozy couch in front of a warm fire as flakes of powdered sugar stack outside the window.

here's a hint.

>>9775621
Paul is pretty boring.

Clear points in Children of Dune where Frank is writing about boys on the cusp of adolescence with his cock in hand.

Even clearer points in books 5/6 where he is writing complex BDSM fantasies to include in his books about space.

Definitely worth reading, but starts so slow most will give up

Its (((great))))

better than Infinite Jest

Get the fuck off my board, you despicable pagan.

the mother of harlots

why would that be a bad thing though, to be like that? would you really prefer it the other way?

>>9775021
That's like asking someone who has perfected walking on one leg if they would prefer to have both. Of fucking course. Mishima breaks my heart a lot. More than dazai who was just stuck in self pity.

Fucking deal with it m8, and expect more of it. Even now European youths are speaking english like its their first language, and more and more McD's are popping up.
The day of the burger has come.

>Stanley Lombardo

Rage:
Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage,
Black and murderous, that cost the Greeks
Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls
Of heroes into Hades' dark,
And left their bodies to rot as feasts
For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was done.
Begin with the clash between Agamemnon--
The Greek warlord--and godlike Achilles.

>Alexander Pope

Achilles' wrath, to Greece the direful spring
Of woes unnumber'd, heavenly goddess, sing!
That wrath which hurl'd to Pluto's gloomy reign
The souls of mighty chiefs untimely slain;
Whose limbs unburied on the naked shore,
Devouring dogs and hungry vultures tore.
Since great Achilles and Atrides strove,
Such was the sovereign doom, and such the will of Jove!

>Robert Fitzgerald

Anger be now your song, immortal one,
Akhilleus’ anger, doomed and ruinous,
that caused the Akhaians loss on bitter loss
and crowded brave souls into the undergloom,
leaving so many dead men — carrion
for dogs and birds; and the will of Zeus was done.
Begin it when the two men first contending
broke with one another —
the Lord Marshal
Agamémnon, Atreus’ son, and Prince Akhilleus. . . .

>Robert Fagles

Rage — Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus’ son Achilles,
murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses,
hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls,
great fighters’ souls, but made their bodies carrion,
feasts for the dogs and birds,
and the will of Zeus was moving toward its end.
Begin, Muse, when the two first broke and clashed,
Agamemnon lord of men and brilliant Achilles. . . .

>Richmond Lattimore

Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilleus
and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the Achaians,
hurled in their multitudes to the house of Hades strong souls
of heroes, but gave their bodies to be the delicate feasting
of dogs, of all birds, and the will of Zeus was accomplished
since that time when first there stood in division of conflict
Atreus’ son the lord of men and brilliant Achilleus. . . .

>Peter Green

Wrath, goddess, sing of Achilles Peleus's son's
calamitous wrath, which hit the Achaians with countless ills—
many the valiant souls it saw off down to Hades,
souls of heroes, their selves left as carrion for dogs
and all birds of prey, and the plan of Zeus was fulfilled—
from the first moment those two men parted in fury,
Atreus's son, king of men, and the godlike Achilles.

>George Chapman

ACHILLES’ baneful wrath resound, O Goddess, that impos’d
Infinite sorrows on the Greeks, and many brave souls los’d
From breasts heroic; sent them far to that invisible cave
That no light comforts; and their limbs to dogs and vultures gave:
To all which Jove’s will gave effect; from whom first strife begun
Betwixt Atrides, king of men, and Thetis’ godlike son.

>Rodney Merrill

Sing now, goddess, the wrath of Achilles the scion of Peleus,
ruinous rage which brought the Achaians uncounted afflictions;
many the powerful souls it sent to the dwelling of Hades,
those of the heroes, and spoil for the dogs it made of the bodies,
plunder for all of the birds, and the purpose of Zeus was accomplished —
sing from the time when first stood hostile, starting the conflict,
Atreus' scion, the lord of the people, and noble Achilles.

This person was paid to write this.

> Is literary criticism part of the canon?
no

>Should I start reading more novels and less theory again, perhaps writers with concise and simple prose? Are there any good writing practices to help you jump out of obscurantist lit-crit writing mode and back into something coherent?

plz answer if you're truly /lit/

>I read way too much Derrida and Walter Benjamin
So you gave the academic system jews have destroyed tens of thousands of dollars so you could read the writing of jews pretending to be western philosophers, and now you're surprised everything you write is jewish gobbledygook? Serves you right.

Seriously though, I wasted plenty of time pretending to "get" that hebraic nonsense in my younger years before I understood the jewish problem. You'll get over it.
