big day for the "not being able to see both sides of the vase at once in a thematically significant way" enjoyers (me)

The Way Things Have Been Going Lately by Ada Limón
honestly yall just gotta be comfortable reading books that make you feel stupid
read books that you don't understand. read books where you have to pay attention. read books that make you reread a page eight times to figure it out. read books that you need to take notes on. read books with words you have to google. read books that don't make sense without research on the setting. read books that make you feel stupid because otherwise you'll just be stupid.
lines from the epic of gilgamesh that make me feel like this
“You will take him in your arms, embrace and caress him the way a man caresses his wife. He will be your double, your second self.”
“‘Gilgamesh, save me, save me!’ I cried. But you didn’t save me. You were afraid and you didn’t come.”
“You who have walked beside me, steadfast through so many dangers, remember me, never forget what I have endured.”
“But I cannot see you, you have not come to fight off this danger. Yet weren’t we to remain forever inseparable, you and I?”
“Beloved, wait, don’t leave me. Dearest of men, don’t die, don’t let them take you from me.”
“I will mourn as long as I breathe, I will sob for him like a woman who has lost her only child.”
“For six days I would not let him be buried, thinking, ‘If my grief is violent enough, perhaps he will come back to life again.’“
“I will cross the vast ocean if I can. If not, I will roam the wilderness in my grief.”
“Now let the gate of sorrow be closed behind me, let it be sealed shut with tar and pitch.”
“I imagined that you would look like a god. But you look like me, you are not any different.”
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Might I add:
The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed
The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child
The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship
The adventures of a space roomba
Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

“Being rivals shouldn’t be about being someone’s mirror. Both of you get to be real. Neither of you has to break.”
if you can’t fix it you’ve got to stand it being the last line of the brokeback mountain novella is so crazy it makes me feel like my guts are falling out. if you can’t fix it you’ve got to stand it. jesus fucking christ

hey does anyone have that poem. about the author seeing two boys cuddling on a hotel lobby couch, where he refers to it as something like an island of safe anonymity or smth. its been 5000 years my college boyfriend had it written out and pinned to his wall
