That's just depressing. At least he got to talk with Groucho Marx.

Who wasn't ?

Wittgenstein. :^)

never trust an atheist

Daily reminder that Bertrand Russell's father was literally cucked by his son's tutors and thought it was okay.

I am so glad he's considered a British poet and not American. His poetry is good but it's not great, sometimes it's just plain awful and cringey. Murder in the Cathedral was good, though.

He looked, wrote, and acted like a cuck. I could've spotted that from a mile away.

by whom?

>>7815155
The first line on his wikipedia page

this is my new favourite meme

Can't hustle the Russell

everyone posting smug Russells ought to remember that he later confessed it was a loathsome experience

>getting cucked by a cuck
No wonder the "characters" he writes from are all pathetic betas

>>7815276
>"characters"

Prufrock is Eliot, there are no "characters"

>>7815311
Well that settles it then. And I meant there's Sweeney too and the narrator of Portrait of a Lady etc.

>>7815204
Probably humblebragging. Or trying to humiliate Eliot even more for deviant thrills.

>>7815276
Only until his conversion to Anglicanism

>>7815101
haters gonna hate

>>7815276
...so pretty much every main character from dostoievski to today?

well he moved to UK and renounced his american citizenship sooooooo i guess himself

>>7815788
if you'd read his biography you'd know that everything about Prufrock corresponds very exactly to Eliot's own person and his life. He even begins parting his hair behind at the same time as he writes the poem...

>>7815719
Alpha as fuck

>>7815719
funny, but fake.

>>7815809
He was cucked though. He wasn't even sure if his son was his.
