Blake's songs aren't poetry? Stop spouting off stupid bullshit.

LOL

How about get a book that has a lot of notes, then you can get your gimmicky two bookmarks bullshit out of your system.

“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
most /lit/ athletics are obviously fencing, boxing, anything involving horses, running, swimming, and anything obscure that was invented before 1930

I received Terence McKenna's "Food of the Gods" and "Archaic revival" for Christmas, and I've finished Fotg. Has anyone else read Fotg or Ar?

I swear to God that fucking picture makes my blood boil.
All those pretentious maggots (for understandings sake I refer to them as normies) that put themselves on a high pedestal and proudly emphasize that they, indeed (ladies and gentlemen you may or may not believe it!), read books. How does their mind work?
>"I read books,that means, I am smart"
You can notice them on the way they speak about themselves. Whenever they emphasize how much they read books, as well as taking tasteless photographs of themself posing (as unnatural and "cute" as possible) with a book or just letting everyone know how much they've read without you asking, you know exactly what you're dealing with. In my experience females show such behaviour way more than men.
I assume in their retarded thought-process they think back to the one time they paid attention in history class and how only scholars and higher ups had the ability to read and that's why they associate the act of reading with being intelligent. Added with the romantizing of reading books in media and social circles they try to sustain that image of themselves. Books are a medium like any other and vary strongly in terms of quality, but they act as all books are inherently good pieces of fiction and everything else is below.
Depending on what you read you may gain more insight on certain subjects, however the most important part and the one normies don't even think about for a second is, that you have to process it (,but of course how could they, if their oh so great mind is completely occupied with gossiping, celebrities, spending money or if or if not Jake is cheating on them!). You have to form your own opinion of what you've read and think about what you would've removed/added to make the piece of literature better. If you read let's say a philosophical or religious work and agree with each and every point and do nothing but quote the creator without processing both your worldviews or not adding a piece of your mind, your thoughts and life experiences you're nothing more than a parrot. It's just frustrating that normies that associate themselves with literature think of their mind as a deep, sky blue ocean, when it takes a non-retarded person two minutes to realize s/he it's a dirty puddle by the roadside.
I hope you are not like that.

The sudden opaque cloud of black smoke which had appeared under the contraption before Davie's conscience had the power of Medusa's gaze. In this immobile contemplation, the youngster felt his feet's soles dancing over the rumble. The trembling ignited by the flying beast threw a rhythm and produced a deafening, unnerving melody.

Seldom had Davie seen such amazing display of the prowess that Man's orchestra, composed of gears and steam, and indeed that sight would stick to his memories forever. The young child was awestruck as the steam engine propulsed the shuttle, drowning it in the thick, creamy soup of cloud roofing over the people watching the event attentively.

It was then that the kid realized that there were people inside the machine! How fearless! The courage of these men inspired many, but Davie wanted badly to do the same. Adrenaline came rushing and suddenly Davie knew that this was his future.

Am I trying too hard?
