/lit/ - Literature

>/lit/... the canon... is in your hands
>O, O, O, O!

newfag here, can you guys recommend some poets for someone lonely, depressed, trying to escape NEETdom, etc.

I got deferred for my single choice early application to Yale. Is it over for my literary dreams?

Is there anything more to life than fully appreciating works of literary merit, the blissfulness of good poetry, experiencing a multitude of different perspectives, realising how temporal your existence is when you read the eternal, feeling completely overwhelmed when you first attempt to comprehend a certain philosophical school of thought but gradually developing your understanding over time?
Aside from lesser pursuits like drugs, fathering progeny and being kicked in the balls by girls while they laugh at you, spit in your face and insult you, is there really a more rewarding and higher purpose in life?
If you were filthy rich, in the hundred million range wouldn't you appreciate and be enriched by the same prominent canonical works that even lowly NEETs on their journey of knowledge, meaning and enjoyment of literature have been enlightened by?

What would you do instead other than be in awe of the culmination of human thought, culture and aesthetic achievement?
What else would you do other than solitary reading while you occasionally pause to stare at the magnificent, ever-changing tapestry of the sky as the sun shines golden light through the clouds?

So learning Latin is gay? Akin to sissies learning C programming? Harold Bloom surely knows rudimentary latin, does this mean he is a fag

He'll be fine

Wait until Harold Bloom dies and consume his soul and wear his flesh as a bodysuit.

Sorry, but it's over. The war... is lost. everyone can now go home.

I'm still deciding, whether I should shoot myself or just start tramping and shoot myself later. But it's over. The white race is extinct in 200 years and if we don't holocaust the others away in 5 years than the next 195 years are unavoidable. Will we holocaust them in 5 years? No. It's over.

My only happiness is that the Slavs will survive and learn an invaluable lesson from the extinction of Germanics and Nordics.

Brainlet here. Is it possible for anyone to become erudite? Can I overcome my poor genetics (IQ) or is the best I can hope for is to become a pseud?

How will /lit/ react when he dies?

Who will defend the canon once he's gone?

who are your favorite literary critics? where would i go to find a good list? just google?
