lucile by owen mereith only gets posted when i shit it here. >ALFRED>Pooh!>Pray would you have had her dress always in black,>And shut herself up in a convent, dear Jack? >Besides, 'twas my fault the engagement was broken.>JOHN.>Most likely. How was it? >ALFRED. >The tale is soon spoken.>She bored me. I show'd it. She saw it. What next?>She reproach'd. I retorted. Of course she was vex'd.>I was vex'd that she was so. She sulk'd. So did I.>If I ask'd her to sing, she look'd ready to cry.>I was contrite, submissive. She soften'd. I harden'd.>At noon I was banish'd. At eve I was pardon'd.>She said I had no heart. I said she had no reason.>I swore she talk'd nonsense. She sobb'd I talk'd treason.>In short, my dear fellow, 'twas time, as you see,>Things should come to a crisis, and finish. 'Twas she>By whom to that crisis the matter was brought.>She released me. I linger'd. I linger'd, she thought,>With too sullen an aspect. This gave me, of course,>The occasion to fly in a rage, mount my horse, >And declare myself uncomprehended. And so >We parted. The rest of the story you know.
>>25196440I hve seen it posted here, but each one was by ME.>Lancelot the knight of the cart>FrithiolfThe first I believe is the first recorded instance of lancelot in a story, and actually quite interesting in how it illustrates how men and women were percieved at the time. The women in it are actually quite active actors, but they dont pretend they can stand up in the same feilds of men. instead they make political, social, and reconossance moves. In fact in the story, Lancelot is captured and put into a tower, and a Lady who Lancelot did a favor for by saving her betroved, actually found and saved him. reverse goldylocks.The second shows an extremely interesting view of transitional Norse story telling from pre christian norse pagan to christian. It has one of the most beautyful tellings of the story of Baldr, and has a protagonists that reaches further than his station, learns to cool his head a bit, and recieves his desire through a combination of old norse grit and new gospel humility. Not a refutation of either, but a synthesis of both.

>>25197336The tickling scene
>>25197661>They put him next to a fire, tied him so that he could move neither hands nor feet, and rubbed the soles of his feet with wet salt, which our old goat had to lick off. This tickled him so much that he almost wanted to burst with laughter, and it seemed to me so gentle and pleasant – for I had never seen nor heard my dad making such long-lasting laughter – that I half in companionship and half in ignorance joined heartily with him. In such merriment he confessed his guilt and revealed the hidden treasure, which was richer in gold, pearls and jewels than might have been expected of a peasant.I’m sure he had a hard on writing this

>>25196440lords of the starship by Mark s gestonyou could always find a copy in a second hand book store
>>25197336is this good? its been next on my list for a while
>>25198331It’s brilliant. To me, it’s like Don Quixote but even better. It’s a picaresque and I’m sure some consider it the first adventure novel? But it’s good in how it explores the trauma of the thirty years war too.

>>25196440The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Francois AugeriasIt's just written really beautifully, even though it focuses on pederasty. It's inspired by the author's own life though, if that makes it better lol. It feels magical in a strange way. There are rituals in the book but the kind of ritual you'd see in an A24 horror film. Where nothing makes sense and nothing seems to change until suddenly everything's changed. I liked these quotes>I had reached the point of believing there is no love except insofar as one's unconscious strives to itself in others>The idea precedes everything, the rest is only attentive patience, weaving, a game of shuttles; for it is the man of the night who invents, the man of the morning is nothing but a scribe
>>25198347to what purpose, ant.
>>25198369To predict a post such as yours, and to reply to your indignant post with complacency of course.
>>25198342lords of the starship was... odd. the good guys all died in flames at the end the general concept is bringing civilisation back after a nuclear war by uniting people in building a starship to go somewhere else. thank you for coming to my TED talk

>>25198438I’ve never watched jjba, or any anime for that matter, but I could do with something silly and fun after reading Clarissa which was great, but very dull and depressing simultaneously, while dragging on, and on, and on.
