All a vine does is unfold. It's a process of unfolding.

Even just mentioning this guy in the same breath as Hardy and Herbert is hilarious

From the biographical intro to Letter to a Priest by Simone Weil: "...in Assissi in 1937 she experienced a religious ecstasy...she had another revelation a year later while reciting George Herbert's poem Love III, after which, she said 'Christ himself came down and took possession of me'"

Yes.

Did the author only write this bollocks because she is Honor's mate?

Is New York Magazine a place for this coterie to puff each others book or throw their partners under the bus?

How does the Dimes Square scene fit into your Culture Mafia?

Have you met Honor?

Have you read Honor?

Have you slept with Honor?

If not, have you slept with Brock?

If Honor is the VOG, where does that leave you?

Is she even?

I am going to think about how to answer these. Very delicate

Gus, Mixed Biscuits and the Less Wrong diaspora.

we all know about the dubstepforum diaspora and how it gave us corpsey and version and others but we've heard less about the alt-right 'New Rationalist' website Gus, Biscuits and more cut their teeth on. I want to know all about life on that forum. Gus said they had a grading system for members...

I provided very good answers to Craners' questions, now that we're in the business of establishing a record.

i wish i was better at reading and analyzing poems.

 

[kid charlemagne]

i got an 8.4/10 on my last poem analysis. i am bs my way through the second analysis right now.

 

[sus]

What is this "poem analysis" and why are you gauging your talent by it

 

[kid charlemagne]

they are the assignments for my class and i am graded on them.

 

[sus]

I agree you're probably shit at reading and analyzing poems. We all are.

It's a 21st century condition. Poems are really very boring and unstimulating. Sometimes, really good ones aren't. But there is a mood that I think you need to be in or get in to enjoy yourself. That we moderns aren't often in

 

[sus]

But can it be graded or is it a deeply personal experience. A grade is often a circus performance for an Educator. Is it like that?

Song lyrics are just poems, I mean obviously there are differences but if you can sit with one you can sit with the other.

There are no secrets just attention and time
