Deep Ecology should start with Zapffe and move to Phyrroianism and then after Naess end with a detour into basic ethics and so ultimately it should start either with some feminist critque or back to the Greeks. Prove me wrong.

>"It's worth it!"
When you start paying people to tell you what you want to hear, I hope you remember that your market correcter is formalized into political protocols. On one side justice undercut and the other finance undercut. All justified more than unfair long range, complex economic risk incentivising.
>"You don't matter to anyone, and you are no one."
I remember that feel before I read a short book that made me understand empathy as a creative act, one that destabilizes the ego sometimes. As a doctor, you'd get this. But as a loser, you'd probably think your 4000 pages is more difficult to understand and slog through . But there are still shorter poems that take a lifetime to inhabit. And there are a thousand reasons to do so as a doctor.

>"resonance" which he attributes in a particular meaning to scholar Northrop Frye. According to Frye, resonance is when "a particular statement in a particular context acquires a universal significance." Whether it be a literary character like Hamlet or a country like Greece, objects can obtain larger significance because of the context in which we understand them. They gain a larger significance than their physical nature suggests, precisely because they become metaphors. Hamlet becomes a metaphor for "brooding indecisiveness," whereas Athens becomes a metaphor for "intellectual excellence".

People read for different reasons. I respect her decision to consume ethically.

>...in your own voice?
Your own voice is more like a constructed illusion of an image or "persona", literally a mask behind which the poet manipulates the tools of poetic rhetoric. Catullus' achievement lies in his seemless transformation of actual experience into poetic fiction that is at once audacious and believable. No one reading his poems today can tell where self-revelation gives way to invention.

The repression of homosexual desire in his era was forced in order to sublimate it into a desire for paternal rule, and therefor Mann like most artists sought refuge in the figure of the churbe or pixie or little people for his desire. He went so far as to objectify his son as an angel like many artists before him.

I'm just glad he wasn't one of those priests who kept the tiny cocks from the Vatican statues that were dispatched during a vigorous campaign by a certain pope who shall remain nameless. The things are literally floating around and being used in ceremonies.

The complexity of emotions and their movement such that an annoyance grows to either anger or laughter is understood by experience in life, or thought by most as such; as is social intelligence and self-awareness to the language expressed by the narrator. The portrayal of these characteristic movements of emotion if given a realist treatment leads audiences to assume that the adult is now ready to be thoroughly buggered by critics. Both verbiage, scene, and character are always in some manner mirrored or contrasted with emotion. And when I say emotion, I mean one which is an amalgamation of many into one that is not expressible except as the totality of the style or concept or central metaphor. There are obvious qualifications that rule out what I say, but if you are looking for a common market perspective on positioning your self brand as one of intelligence, then I would go ahead and buy the lube and get ready for the raping that will most likely precede the thought of becoming a serious writer. You can do it!
