Keep faith, love all, hate none, drink light, bite tongue.
Work hard, play soft, live light, pray oft, die young.

Rorschach

I wish I did not have dyscalculia

This house was built by human hands
To hold their spirit, their wills no less
Than the workers' of Chartres in centuries past,
Their souls like steel cables
Stretching between the walls,
Straining to keep them upright.

The spirit is willing to stay forever
In this space of wood and glass,
But wood and glass are made of earth-stuff,
LIke the stars, the fog, the pilgrims' road,
LIke the weak flesh of human hands.

Where human hands have erred, forgiveness is received,
And the spirit shines out through the cracked panes,
Inscribed with the names of the fallen.
Let it shine through all new windows that it finds.
Let a new window be made, for this house.

Oh right, I forgot about
Stevie Smith
Siegfried Sassoon

I'm reading The Prague Cemetary by Eco at the moment.
Too bad his last name isn't Uco. If it were, he would fit into this thread.

Wow, forgot about Jasper Johns, and never realized he and Rauschenberg were lovers.

I had William Wordsworth too -- prefer him to Walt Whitman.

Aaaaaaaaaand... that's it, I can't think of any XXs, YYs or ZZs.

Actually, the absence of NNs and YYs is a bit odd, I think... can't think of a single notable person with those initials, let alone a /lit/ person.

Thanks everyone for your extra contributions.

Can't think of any UUs.

For VV we'll have to go with Vincent van Gogh even though it's pretty debatable... unless you want to go with Vernor Vinge

Excellent, better than E. R. Eddison.

Toru Takemitsu

Reading about Torquato Tasso now... don't know if I ever heard of him before

Susan Sontag... of course

Must be other SSs though

QQ has got to be pretty much impossible. I mean there's Quentin Crisp but that's about as close as we get.

Robert Rauschenberg

My first failure... I can't think of any
NNs
or
OOs
!!!

Here's Pablo Picasso

Margaret Mitchell

Lewis Lapham
