same here slept mad good last nite

ok. instead of feedback i'll just keep it all as [I]Русалка[/I] [Mermaid-Russian] and then Sukuut since it sounds cooler.


I actually find minute reading details like that really stupidly interesting. :\

i think it's interesting, but i don't think a difference between verbal person indicates an overt reference to the different dynamics between two literary genres

MAYBE you could say that epic poetry tends to be told from the third person and elegiac poetry from the first poetry, but you have a tenuous argument; ovid is probably using the first person because he is speaking from the perspective of a character, not because he's trying to make some dramatic point

austin get on msn.

aria what country do you live in?

Do you guys know when you sort of drift off into the same few daydreams over and over again? Because for the past few weeks I've been dreaming about someone by a fountain playing me the violin and I feel like I have to paint it but I only have watercolors and not oil or acrylic paints it makes me so angry.

I haven't read the story but if it is related to anything substantial to differentiate the ideas, the change in perspective was probably some obscure detail that the author used to epsecially remember the main jist of the elegiac section. It's a nice little detail to think of but I agree that writing anymore than perhaps a footnote on it (unless it helps illustrate that all of these details work together to create some unified whole that is significant to the story's importance) is a bit extreme.

both verbs aren't used in the same poem

ovid uses the verb "uror" (which means "i burn"), and vergil uses the verg "uritur" (which means "he/she burns")

Some brown-haired guy with his neck craned to the left so I can't see his face, but I can tell he's white and he's in either a red and white sweatshirt or a brownberry-type color sweater because it's night time whenever this happens.

ok well i'm not busy writing the article so I'm probably not paying attention enough to base a solid opinion I'll just assume you're right and shit.

haha its all good, im just venting at how much i hate this article

probably gonna write my 2 week late history essay right now.

cant stop eatin cheez its

so you're gonna waste your time?

fuck, the author is making a reference to homers iliad

gonna have to bring out my greek dictionary

i have a copy of that about four feet below me.

which translation

It's the Fagles version. I have the Lattimore in my room since my grandmother has like 80copies of every book she gets.

get the stanley lombardo translation

he teaches at my school

where do you go

university of kansas

dr lombardo really does do the best translations of the epics though. he does a really poetic, freeform translation.

I just thought of a world where joanna newsom translated epics. I'm sure a few characters would turn into woodland critters.

I'll check out that lombardo shit maybe

my literature class this year has been a bore. kind of a disappointment.

robyn is so good i am enamored as far as one can be with a pop singer.

We've been spending the past few months reading Shakespeare so I just skip since 95% of the class is him translating it into bullshit and I just shout shit out like the fact that Romeo's just some fucking sexually-repressed whore and I generally just get sent out of class but apparently the test grades go down considerably when I'm not there, which probably has some correlation to the fact that I explain shit better than my fucking teacher who's been reading it to kids for like 20 years and so he's been 'discreetly' trying to keep me in class.

Whatever, Romeo and Juliet was a shit storyline anyways; iambic parameter doesn't make up for that heap of shit, regardless of the innovation it held at its conception.

implying the elegiac couplet isnt a much better meter

our teacher made us read a lot of tolstoy recently.

fuck tolstoy.
