crypticbard commented on: At The Estate Of Prudentius, The Poet, 1 by Seryddwr 2 years 24 weeks* ago* First, Prudentius was given a: First, Prudentius was given a name, then a life, then relationship... a good step to introduce us to Psychomachia and Peristephanon.

patriciajj commented on: The Source of Our Hubris by Spinoza 2 years 24 weeks* ago* This remarkable contemplation: This remarkable contemplation is a mirror that crashes through the illusion to set us free from the exhausting "Source of Our Hubris". You shined the light with penetrating and life-altering truth. "we juggle every sort of miracle to trick ourselves, into believing otherwise" Yes! Slam dunk. Superbly penned. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: Pain is a memory by SSmoothie 2 years 24 weeks* ago* "I might have forgotten: "I might have forgotten you But you won't let me Until you take every part of me for yourself" There is pain so unspeakable that it's almost a sacrilege to attempt to define it, or approach it without sounding melodramatic, but you pulled off a nearly superhuman feat by making us feel every shred of it with elegant, organic sincerity. The metaphors leading up to the trickle of hope were astonishing in their intensity. You took bold strokes of imagery that paid off when they first shattered us and later added to the feeling of relief when you wrote, with striking beauty: "despair will forget my name". A remarkable expression, forged in great sorrow and great strength. I too owe a debt to Stella for her pep talks. [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: COOL KIDS by georgeschaefer 2 years 24 weeks* ago* Makes one wonder whatever: Makes one wonder whatever happens to the 'cool kids' once the kids part becomes a thing of the past. Perhaps the delusion and the made up bliss continues in some 'grown-up' form or do they ever come down to earth. The folder is spot on - really felt that looking up to them is the epitome of squandered serendipity. Thanks for sharing, George. /Rik. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: The Source of Our Hubris by Spinoza 2 years 24 weeks* ago* The other side of that: The other side of that pendulum swing, to be invincible and immortal where everything else about us says otherwise, striving for perfection and the gift of flight. Very deep and inescapable truths, Spinoza. Thanks for sharing. /Rik. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: I lost by Jesster 2 years 24 weeks* ago* I distinct moment of: I distinct moment of existence; one that cannot be altered... the slipping away and the longing are almost unbearable. Very relatable. Thanks for sharing. [ go to comment ]
