GET OUT OF MY HEAD ANON

Already this profane world was beginning to fade out: soon it would vanish altogether. This landscape was still laved in golden sunlight, but already something was evaporating out of it. I know nothing, nothing in the world, equal to the wonder of nightfall in the air.

Those who have been enthralled by the witchery of flying will know what I mean - and I do not speak of the men who, among other sports, enjoy taking a turn in a plane. I speak of those who fly professionally and have sacrificed much to their craft. Mermoz said once, 'It's worth it, it's worth the final smash-up.'

No question about it; but the reason is hard to formulate. A novice taking orders could appreciate this ascension towards the essence of things, since his profession too is one of renunciation: he renounces the world; he renounces riches; he renounces the love of woman. And by renunciation he discovers his hidden god.

I, too, in this flight, am renouncing things. I am giving up the broad golden surfaces that would befriend me if my engines were to fail. I am giving up the landmarks by which I might be taking my bearings. I am giving up the profiles of mountains against the sky that would warn me of pitfalls. I am plunging into the night. I am navigating. I have on my side only the stars.

The diurnal death of the world is a slow death. It is only little by little that the divine beacon of daylight recedes from me. Earth and sky begin to merge into each other. The earth rises and seems to spread like a mist. The first stars tremble as if shimmering in green water. Hours must pass before their glimmer hardens into the frozen glitter of diamonds. I shall have a long wait before I witness the soundless frolic of the shooting stars. In the profound darkness of certain nights I have seen the sky streaked with so many trailing sparks that it seemed to me a great gale must be blowing through the outer heavens.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

what I really hate about telling people that you like to read is that they automatically assume you read everything.

Don't speak like that to my autistic friend

what do i do if lolita made my pp feel funni

i dont wanna rape a lil girl but i lowkey want to be a lil girl and attract an older man

What is wrong with the fucking jannies here? Why do they keep deleting my threads even though they're lit related?

Why is the English speaking world so Anglo centric when it comes to literature? Other cultures don't focus almost solely on their own - and only their own - literature like we do. There's so much literature from all over the world that I want to read but it's difficult because there's no good translations of them into English.
