No homo but Chekhov's face is so pleasing to look at. It's like your eyes feel at peace when glazing at him

*gazing

Returning, We Hear the Larks

Sombre the night is:
And, though we have our lives, we know
What sinister threat lurks there.

Dragging these anguished limbs, we only know
This poison-blasted track opens on our camp—
On a little safe sleep.

But hark! Joy—joy—strange joy.
Lo! Heights of night ringing with unseen larks:
Music showering on our upturned listening faces.

Death could drop from the dark
As easily as song—
But song only dropped,
Like a blind man's dreams on the sand
By dangerous tides;
Like a girl's dark hair, for she dreams no ruin lies there,
Or her kisses where a serpent hides.

He's relentlessly handsome. I want to kiss him relentlessly.

>>18459254

>>18462124
I wish I were that handsome.

>>18459254
Probably the greatest chad in literature and he hasn't even been mentioned yet

Moses.

>>18460782
You need an AI to tell you who's handsome and who isn't? Are you an alien?

>>18459254
>His physical appearance in 1839 was described by the painter Friedrich Pecht: strikingly elegant, indeed aristocratic in his appearance, despite his somewhat short legs, and with such a strikingly beautiful woman on his arm (his wife Minna] that she alone would have sufficed to make the couple interesting, if Wagner himself had not had such an arresting head that one’s attention was involuntarily fixed upon him.

>Meeting him a few years later (1843), the author Eliza Wille described him thus: It had remained a fleeting encounter […]. But Wagner’s features had impressed themselves on my mind: his elegant, supple figure, the head with the mighty brow, the acute eye and the energetic lines around his small and tightly closed mouth. A painter who was sitting next to me drew my attention to his straight, protruding chin, which seemed to be carved out of stone, giving the face a special character.

>>18462124
>I want to kiss him relentlessly.
Gore Vidal actually fucked him in the ass and was sucked by him. The more you know.

>>18459551
Incel face, like Pessoa.

>>18461889
Really? He started to resemble an oompa loompa once he got to America.

>>18463474
There is nothing "incel" about Pessoa's face.

>>18463784
St. Blackops2cel gets an 8.22 on that site while GigaChad is barely over 5.0

>>18462124
he's under 5'9, not a chad

>>18463420
he was chad but didn't have chad physiognomy based on the picture, he looks like a fucking alien

>>18463784
He's this guy with a moustache.

>>18463811

>>18463829
Not even close. You must be blind.

>>18463842
Wagner's a solid seven, depending on the photo he's always between 7 and 7.30.

Some Robert Bridges.

On a dead child

Perfect little body, without fault or stain on thee,
With promise of strength and manhood full and fair!
Though cold and stark and bare,
The bloom and the charm of life doth awhile remain on thee.

Thy mother’s treasure wert thou;—alas! no longer
To visit her heart with wondrous joy; to be
Thy father’s pride;—ah, he
Must gather his faith together, and his strength make stronger.

To me, as I move thee now in the last duty,
Dost thou with a turn or gesture anon respond;
Startling my fancy fond
With a chance attitude of the head, a freak of beauty.

Thy hand clasps, as ’twas wont, my finger, and holds it:
But the grasp is the clasp of Death, heartbreaking and stiff;
Yet feels to my hand as if
’Twas still thy will, thy pleasure and trust that enfolds it.

So I lay thee there, thy sunken eyelids closing,—
Go lie thou there in thy coffin, thy last little bed!—
Propping thy wise, sad head,
Thy firm, pale hands across thy chest disposing.

So quiet! doth the change content thee?—Death, whither hath he taken thee?
To a world, do I think, that rights the disaster of this?
The vision of which I miss,
Who weep for the body, and wish but to warm thee and awaken thee?

Ah! little at best can all our hopes avail us
To lift this sorrow, or cheer us, when in the dark,
Unwilling, alone we embark,
And the things we have seen and have known and have heard of, fail us.
