I mean, a hug would be nice but I suppose I'll take literature instead.

Justice commands us to have mercy upon all men, to consult the interests of the whole human race, to give to every one his due.

Cicero, Academica

there's something about the classical piece "la petite fille de la mer" that fills me with a feeling of bittersweet. it feels like welcoming death willingly, as if you have no fear of it. it feels like losing your favourite toy as a child only to remember it later on in life and long for it despite it having no use now. ive heard nothing that will ever beat that piece. its beautiful.

the thing with Beowulf as a work is that you either a) have no idea what it is/vague memories of reading it in High School English, or b) are the least normal person ever about it and it makes up at least 30% of your personality. there is no in-between

either you dont know what Beowulf is about or you're thinking about Beowulf an average of 6 hrs/day.
