You know you see those funny and apparently emo posts??
Like the poem down there. Its something we have to analyse in lit class. We were discussing a poem today in class and i started to comment on these lines, "All this is ended." and "A width, a shining peace, under the night."
And we interpreted it as this guy dying, or at least leaving himself or anything worldly behind blah blah and Mark was like, "Er, that's kinda morbid ya know."
Lol then me and zhanyee said, what poem isn't morbid la. All the talk about death and the beauty of it. Or cursing people/government/yourself.
Well, poets are emotional and seemingly full of pent up frustrations and angst.
But i'm glad i take lit. I think. Me and renzhi still gotta finish a lit assignment tonight cos we missed so many lessons while away in italy!
Lol our lit journal is so empty. Okay, correction. It is empty.
A few phrases from our literature package for amusement and a few seconds of frivolity away from schoolwork.
"My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong."
- Stop All The Clocks by W.H.Auden
"So if, my dear, there sometimes seem to be
Old bridges breaking between you and me
Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall
Confident that we have built our wall."
-Scaffolding by Seamus Heaney
"Crying a violin in a grave
All the dead singing in the river"
-In the Dark Violin of the Valley by Ted Hughes
Alright i need to do my lit now.
Ciao lovely uomos and donnas!
