| Bio: | "As to the poetical Character itself ....it is not itself - it has no self - it is every thing and nothing - It has no character - it enjoys light and shade; it lives in gusto, be it foul or fair, high or low, rich or poor, mean or elevated - It has as much delight in conceiving, an Iago as an Imogen. What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the camelion Poet. It does no harm from its relish of the dark side of things any more than from its taste for the bright one; because they both end in speculation. A Poet is the most unpoetical of any thing in existence; because he has no Identity - he is continually in forming - and filling some other Body - The Sun, the Moon, the Sea and Men and Women who are creatures of impulse are poetical and have about them an unchangeable attribute - the poet has none; no identity - he is certainly the most unpoetical of all God's Creatures. ...All I hope is that I may not lose all interest in human affairs - that the solitary indifference I feel for applause even from the finest Spirits, will not blunt any acuteness of vision I may have. I do not think it will - I feel assured I should write from the mere yearning and fondness I have for the Beautiful even if my night's labours should be burnt every morning, and no eye ever shine upon them. But even now I am perhaps not speaking from myself: but from some character in whose soul I now live." -John Keats, letters A Note My older entries are under friendslock at the moment, but leave a comment somewhere asking and I'll friend you if you want to see them. :) A Note on the Memories Ickle Fics & Good (less Ickle) Fics ~ Good fanfiction that you should certainly read. Fanfic Recs ~ In which I attempt to justify why you should read them. Art ~ Pretty art, which you should probably take a look at. Painfully Funny Stuff ~ Which will make you guffaw raucously. Insightful HP and Non-HP Insights ~ A dose of meta to make you stronger to read ~ LJ-posted fanfiction goes here until I get around to reading it Misc ~ Stuff that doesn't fit under the other categories, but is too interesting not to keep. Herodotus ~ My attempts at history with sarcasm The Silly Iliad ~ A crazy spoof Shameless Narcissism ~ My own paltry attempts at fiction | |
