>a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses

Isn't that the same as shitposting on 4chan?

Fucking on your bitch she a Thot Thot Thot

Suicides in Japan

Hung on the highest branch and he
Seems to be staring straight down.
How pitiful, how dour indeed,
Even in death he's still found
Bowing his head to invisible
Authorities. An abhorring scene.
Still one in a million sadly.
They hang like lanterns in these woods:

Each a previous member of the human race
Displaced by failures a dime a dozen-
A crime it being round here to fail
Led the mind unsound choose instead to bail.
Last rites writ on tree trunks as to testify
That this is not in vain, and not a cry
For help, beyond it he'd gone-
Fully prepared every corpse here was.

What drove the weak to rove and crumble?
And am I strong that I survive
Still? or who knows will I tumble
Down to their neck of the woods?
Where leaves are blood red and ropes
Abound more so than untouched trunks.
And will one day I write these
Poems not on paper but that same stuff?
Because as I stare up at him
I hear the tales the dead do sing
And it feels he's singing to me.

Kill yourself you father fucking asshole dumb shit I sincerely hope you die in a cesspit filled with maggots who are themselves filled with maggots filled with HItler's mustache. Your mother must be so fucking disappointed in herself to have birthed you you piece of human trash. God, if he exists should kill himself because he let you exist. Jesus died for our sins but not yours. Kill yourself. Maybe the only reason you're alive is because the devil doesn't want you down there.

Lazy loser. I bet you only read Wikipedia summaries.

Alexander Pope

This is true. Kierkeegard has fun with his writing, as can be seen in Either/or. Nietzsche has fun in his writing too but not to that extent.

>>9021858
So true it hurts

Some ne'er advance a judgment of their own,
But catch the spreading notion of the town,
They reason and conclude by precedent,
And own stale nonsense which they ne'er invent.
Some judge of authors names not works, and then
Nor praise nor blame the writing, but the men.
