wishing for a stoned-pathed world of ink,

forgotten learnings in bookshelves and ivories,

must we forget the fulfillment of escapement,

embrace the artistry that boils your soul,

though perceived as unusable and unseen,

i beckon my lost elitists, join the classic teachings,

embrace the artistry that is slipping away,

fill our souls in the cult of creativity.   

slip on your sweater vests and black loafers,

join our whispering in candle-lit shadows,

as we drunken ourselves on the pages,

forgotten artists in a capitalist world,

secrecies floating in our play to madness,

disoriented laughter hidden in book-bindings,

let us not forget the findings of historians and poets,

in this fading artistry, fading of our souls,

what gives us the right to pursue our passion,

free of the cares of the meticulously engineered world?

summoned from the ghostly hallows of library shelves,

rise into the shoes of those before us,

drink in the exclusive spill of poetry,

the diaries of the dead, dusted from the spine,

in the golden candle-light we summon:

the poets in each of us that remain forgotten

do you have any (relatively cheap) dorm decoration ideas? I’m thinking of getting a tapestry with a classic painting on it, possibly some fake ivy, etc. do you have any other suggestions?

-candles or fake candles if not allowed in dorm

-thrifted, old books

-press flower and leaves and frame them. 

-thrifted wooden boxes and candle holder

hope this helps a bit :)

Why don't we talk about Untamed Academia?

Those who cannot afford academic studies, but still read all the free pdfs and popular science articles they can find. Those who wear second-hand clothes, and use graph paper notebooks because it saves so much space when taking notes. Those who know all the local birds' common names, and get so excited when they hear a new one they can't identify. Those who recognize 2, maybe 3 constellations, but know the exact position of all the other stars because they look at the sky every night. Those who are so thirsty for knowledge that can spend 7 hours just watching Ted Talks about all subjects imaginable. Definitely bisexual, or at least bi-curious. Has seen a UFO. Befriends all stray dogs they can find. Doesn't even know the entire "academia" aesthetics exist.

Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die. I don’t belong, and, my beloved, neither do you.
