I wonder if some sort of exosuit arm attachment exists that will allow you to hold the book up for extended periods of time. If not, we dont really need to tell you what you’re in for because you are physically incapable of reading that.

You have my sincerest condolences. Auschwitz must've been awful.

I like the way good poetry works on my mind; --it'll effect not only the way (you) see, but the way you dream both day and night. In a good way. Have fun, OP

Last month I reread Wallace Stevens' Harmonium over two evenings and the 'residuals' (which lasted about a week) were overwhelming. Just the way my mind was adjusted to my surroundings, the way my experiences had a Stevensian savor-- I was still more or less recognizable 'to myself,' of course, just a little different-- it's hard to explain. In the midst of working out the poems while going about the business of my day to day life, messing with them, meditating about them, feeling and seeing to some degree in terms of them, working them out aiw, no doubt 'being influenced' by them, etc., something happened; it was different; I liked it.

Paradise Lost

>>23283350
I like Frost in general; of Yeats' volumes The Tower is what first comes to mind: just a great batch of poems.

Don't broke you're arm holding that big boy, dude.

Personally, I'd flip around in it for a few days, maybe read a few Keats odes, Shelley's Ode to the West Wind, some Whitman poem like Crossing Brooklyn Ferry or The Sleepers-- maybe even When Lilacs Last in the Door Yard Bloomed given that the anniversary of Lincoln's assassination is coming up Monday.
After a few days browsing I'd hit it chronologically

Great collection, I've had mine for 16 years now. Its been to Iraq and gotten me laid twice.

The first woman I fucked with it was an arthoe jewess on the floor of a messy studio apartment in manhattan. I read her "She Walks in Beauty" and she kissed me then dropped her panties on the spot. I'm so proud to have served as a stud for the Jewish race that I put a note on that page and have kept it there since.

Imagine getting punched by one of those firsts

>>23284679
It would be very soft.

do you perchance have the third of left of the top row (the golden seiko) in higher res? I would like to add it to my collection. The one under it is also a gem.

I can completely wrap my thumb and middle finger around the other wrist with about one finger's width left over.
