You made an excellent point: You made an excellent point here! It was very short-lived reign for what was expected to be an invincible empire. And using red font was a slick, gleeful stab at the failed experiment.
Always a pleasure.
Hello. If I may..: Hello. If I may, I'd like to comment on your favorite writers you list on your profile:
Leo Tolstoy - missing an r. Should be Leo Tol story.
Ernest Hemingway - how much did Ernest Heming way? Stop Heming Ernest, start Hawing.
James Agee - James A? Gee!
Boris Pasternak -he came from Russia, with love. Ask a doctor, no?
Nathaniel Hawthorne - was a fan of good ol' country humor. Nathaniel ❤️ He Haw thorne.
That's enough for now. Is that all writ er s, with you?
By the way, HOPELESSLY CANDID = DC A-HOL DYS IN SLEEP
Who are they? They remain unnamed.
Unnamed? I like it!
Thank you very much for the: Thank you very much for the kind comment. And I, too, feel very buffeted by my circumstances. But I once heard a sermon which suggested that those of us through whom God works, or whom God has called to a particular vocation, are very often the most attacked by their own circumstances (due to the opposition of the Evil Force). You are certainly called to the vocation of Poet; therefore, your terrain, in this world, shall have a few rough patches. Two of the greatetst Cosmic Poets, Dante and T. S. Eliot, had some real rough patches, yet their Faith never waivered.
I had to smile when I read:: I had to smile when I read: "I spent far too many pleasant hours reading literary criticism and analysis". Only a true connoisseur of the written word would spend so much time doing that just for fun, not because of an assignment.
Well, that explains your talent and your instinctive literary acumen. I'm unspeakably honored to have the support of a true scholar and fine Poet. Endless thanks.
Well, here's a find! Truly: Well, here's a find! Truly enjoyed this. There's an exciting, rumbling, somewhat haunting energy in this innovative experiment with alliteration and surprise.
This line is particularly effective for its pounding suspense, emotive consonant sounds and lunging movement:
"Hours hasten and the hunt is heightened in hunger"
A sensational, thrilling experience. Loved every moment!
