donna tartt: *writes an entire cautionary book about the hubris of characters throwing a bacchanal and then going crazy, losing their friendships, falling apart and destroying the rest of their lives as a result of this decision*

me, immune to critical analysis: i want to throw a bacchanal

Charles Baudelaire’s copy of the French 1st edition of Les Fleurs du Mal turned to the poem Spleen

Last week, I learned that the English language has more euphemisms for death than any other language. I learned that the ancient Greeks had no word for the colour blue and that the Hawain alphabet has only twelve letters. I spent last week hollowing out a little place in my heart and filling it with worry. What does that say about us? Do we really go out of our way to avoid death like that? How did the Greeks describe the sea? Are twelve letters really enough? Does every language have a word for love? Every language should have a word for love. And compassion. And gentleness. And figs and snow and that soft sensitive part on the inside of one’s arm. We should have words for everything so that we don’t feel alone. We need very very very specific words for all of the different kinds of sad and even more specific words for the kinds of happy. What if we were able to talk about everything? I want to tell you how I feel and I want to be precise. Sometimes ‘good’ just isn’t enough and few understand what I mean when I say that I feel ’like lightning.’

Knowing that a word exists is knowing that someone, somewhere has felt this way before. Words allow us to connect and find solace in those that came before us and nonetheless felt the same way. This word exists, and so my emotion exists, and so my thoughts are shared, and so I am not alone, and so I exist.

The first page of Romeo and Juliet in the First Folio owned by the State Library of New South Wales (published 1623).

Although published four times in quarto (1597, 1599, 1609 and 1699), this was the first time Romeo and Juliet (or any of Shakespeare’s plays) was printed in a full collection.  The First Folio was published in London by Isaac Jaggard and Edward Blount.
