Nonsense. This is what you tell yourself to justify your behavior. And, in any event, it doesn't matter unless you fastidiously compare yourself to the best people in your field, which is no way to get anywhere. Imagine an eighteen year old Victor Wooten crying because he isn't as good as Charles Mingus. It's unproductive self pity, it's a waste of time, and if you enjoy what you do (e.g. playing bass) it doesn't matter in terms of practice whether or not you will ever, in fact, be as good as Victor Wooten.

I think I agree. Let's post examples and turn this thread into something worthwhile.

He said:
"It's alright, and it's all over now"
And boarded the plane
His belt unfastened
The boy was known to show unusual daring
And, called a "boy"
This alderman, confounding Tammany Hall
In whose employ King Tamanend himself preceded John’s fall

So we all raise a standard
To which the wise and honest soul may repair
To which a hunter
A hundred years from now, may look and despair
And see with wonder
The tributes we have left to rust in the park
Swearing that our hair stood on end
To see John Purroy Mitchel depart
For the Western Front
Where work might count
All exeunt! All go out!
Await the hunter, to decipher the stone
(and what lies under, now)
The city is gone

Look and despair
Look and despair

The way the melody explodes into the lines about meteors makes one perk one's ears to the importance in the distinction between the cause of light, the phenomenological experience, and the thing itself.

That would be well enough, but the way it's framed it's as a memory of love and admiration for someone else makes this one of the best songs ever written. It brings the whole thing to a much more human space.

I saw his ship in its whistling ascension
As they launched from the capitol seat
Swear I saw our mistake
When the clouds draped like a flag
Across the backs of the fleet
Of the hundred-first lightborne elite

As the day is long
So the well runs dry
And we came to see time is taller
Than space is wide
And we bade goodbye
To the great divide
Found unlimited simulacreage to colonize

But there was a time we were lashed to the prow
Of a ship you may board, but not steer
Before you and I ceased to mean now
And began to mean only right here
(to mean inches and miles, but not years)
Before space has a taste of its limits
And a new sort of coordinate awoke
Making time just another poor tenant
Bearing weight, taking fire, trading smokes
In the war between us and our ghosts

(But I saw the Bering Strait and the Golden Gate
In silent suspension of their golden age
And you can barely tell, if I guard it well
Where I have been, and seen
Pristine, unfelled)

>Dahut, the blond daughter of King Gradlon, begs her father to build her a citadel by the sea. And so he does, creating a city that’s protected from the waves by an enormous wall of stone whose one entrance, a gigantic bronze door, is opened by a key that Gradlon carries around his neck.
>Like a lot of seaside towns, Ys attracts horny sailors laden with goods, and Dahut makes a wicked pact with the powers of the ocean to make the already decadent city rich. The agreement is rather kinky: every night the princess takes a new sailor as a lover, and places a black mask on his head. In the morning, when the song of the meadowlark is heard, the mask strangles the guy, whose body is then offered to the waves.
>Eventually Dahut meets her match: a haughty crimson-clad lover who persuades her to slip the key from around the neck of her sleeping father. The rake then opens the gates of Ys to the raging ocean, which swallows the city. Father and daughter escape on a magic steed, but daddy is forced to drop the princess into the sea and she drowns.

Massive Liz Harris fan but I don't really understand what association she has to literature. She's a brilliant artist but doesn't even self-identify as a musician, and from every interview I've read of hers she's very humble about her knowledge and tries to keep her ego as far away from her art as she can. She seems to have more in common with American poetic tradition than literature.

He always looked dumb and an asshole to me, for no reason other than judging but his face on photos.
So 3% is that and 97% is "fuck this fucker is with joana she would be so much happier with me fml" sort of jealousy and stupid fantasy.
I guess this explains most of the hate here.

But then after watching brooklyn 99 and stumbling upon some random interviews on the internet I actually like him.
