Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'

Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.
― Kurt Vonnegut, Bokonon in Cat’s Cradle

Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them.

Music is the best.

Officially an engraver and accorded the lowly status thereof,
William Blake devoted his labors to realizing his elaborately idiosyncratic visions using images and words together in ways that no artist had done before.
Blake swam against the current “of modern human understanding, whose bedrock is the principle of specialization.”
Today, nearly two centuries after his death, that principle still obtains -- and in some ways more rigidly than ever.
But his work remains,

The Radical, Unclassifiable Art of William Blake
William Blake is a household name, or not far from it, but things get more complicated when it comes to professional description. He was a poet, a painter, and a printmaker, at least insofar as he wrote poetry, painted paintings, and made prints.

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
-- Henry David Thoreau, from "Walden; or, Life in the Woods"
True or not--it's impressive poetry, if you read it while impressionable.
"The question is not what you look at, but what you see."
-- Henry David Thoreau, from Journal entry, 5 August 1851.
Now...make an answer to the question, and post it!

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
Dorothea Mackellar, Australian writer, from the poem: “My Country”, 1908

Minerva - Wikipedia

Ancient Greeks according to MAGA and not-lonely-enough men: "You can't cast a trans man as Achilles. Achilles is the embodiment of masculinity."
Actual ancient Greeks: Giving Sophocles the influential position as military strategist because he wrote the play Antigone.
If you never even read the Ilias, just keep your mouth shut. Hollywood's hypermasculinity has skewed modern perception of Greek poetry.
Achilles is, and ever was, a queer hero.

There he is! Up there!
All the way up there!
The richest man in history!
I bet we could raise him higher yet—
At least the length of a pikestaff.

Welcome to my hot classics summer. Iʻve had Homer in my ears, and Virgil and Shakespeare. Such a confusion of glories, such poetry, such violence!

" ... Je ogen zijn zo rood, omdat iemand heeft gezegd dat je ogen zo blauw zijn en dat heeft je geraakt. Het fijne aan geraakt worden is dat het niet lang hoeft te duren om lang te blijven duren en het vreemde aan geraakt zijn is dat het nagalmt en nastampt en toch ben je er stil van. ..."
uit het gedicht ‘Vasthoudendheid’ in Lieke's debuutbundel ‘Wat ik mijzelf graag voorhoud‘ (2010, Van Oorschot)
#LiekeMarsman #poetry #poezie

When no one cares, and no one sees
That private prayer upon your knees,
God hears your words to move the world,
When by his will he speaks to build
The Kingdom with his powerful ease ─
In private prayer it's God who's skilled
To hear the man with whom he's pleased.

If you wanna smoke that stuff then you do you man, believe what you want.
But don't come quoting that slop machine at me, like it backs up a single thought.
Or worse, like it's a thought you had.
Here: this must be true, the robot thought it too!
The revolution will not come to mind when conferring with their chatbots.
The revolution will be live, not Ai-sized.
The revolution will be humanized.
