Correction. It wasn't for 3 days but he did lay down on his lawn and just wept.

Sounds like typical behavior for a Scandifag. They're all feminine faggots.

What a cunt. Literally overstayed his welcome.

It's not opinion, it's experience. The Scandinavians I've met were all watered-down men and they all dressed and looked feminine.

He was sensitive and childlike; in addition, he was plagued by maladies both chronic and acute, especially related to his teeth and penis. He had a job which didn't require of him a rigorous process of conforming to the emotional norms of workaday Victorian society, but which did require of him an imaginative overindulgence of the emotional faculties. Perhaps the cluster of these and other affects might fit under the heading of a psychiatric disorder in our era.

Do you think that's what helped him create kids stories so well? He had the mind of a kid?

>Andersen experienced same-sex attraction;[30] he wrote to Edvard Collin:[31] "I languish for you as for a pretty Calabrian wench ... my sentiments for you are those of a woman. The femininity of my nature and our friendship must remain a mystery."[32] Collin, who preferred women, wrote in his own memoir: "I found myself unable to respond to this love, and this caused the author much suffering." Andersen's infatuation for Carl Alexander, the young hereditary duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach,[33] did result in a relationship:
>"The Hereditary Grand Duke walked arm in arm with me across the courtyard of the castle to my room, kissed me lovingly, asked me always to love him though he was just an ordinary person, asked me to stay with him this winter ... Fell asleep with the melancholy, happy feeling that I was the guest of this strange prince at his castle and loved by him ... It is like a fairy tale."

I think to write great children's literature one has to be childlike, and not critically or reflectively but to have the actual traits of a child, e.g. curiosity, fear, emotional instability in general. Aesop's disposition and habits got him killed by all the normies in his village. Ronsard is probably an exception, but he wouldn't exist without Aesop.
