/lit/ - Literature

Let me try one more time. I love these works not because of the ideologies behind them or any kind of political message. I just think they look incredibly powerful, majestic, melancholy, skilful or any or all of the above. I think my depression stems from the fact that it's either this or the modern world. I would much much rather dwell on these than modern flats and pieces by tracy emin or jeff koons. But it's not even that. I think I just can't believe we live in a world that doesn't bat an eyelid that there can be buildings, for example, dedicated to producing disgusting energy drinks. Think of that in the the middle ages or the classical period. It's so specific and ugly. In no way is that good or valuable.
