Harvard Hell
From October 29, 2006 —
"Noi siam venuti al loco ov' i' t'ho detto
che tu vedrai le genti dolorose
c'hanno perduto il ben de l'intelletto."
"We have come to where
I warned you we would find
Those wretched souls
who no longer have
The intellectual benefits of the mind."
From a Harvard student's weblog:

Fleetwood Thunder
"Against Dryness" —
"Against the consolations of form, the clean crystalline
work, the simplified fantasy-myth, we must pit the
destructive power of the now so unfashionable naturalistic
idea of character.
Real people are destructive of myth, contingency is
destructive of fantasy and opens the way for imagination."
— Iris Murdoch, January 1961
"the now so unfashionable naturalistic idea of character" —
"Thunder only happens when it's raining,
Players only love you when they're playing."
— Song lyric. See as well the previous post.
