“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.”

Physically I'm here but mentally I'm in a cramped 19th century Russian apartment surviving on cabbage soup and vodka.

The Song of the Stormy Petrel (Maxim Gorky) "A short poem, text can be found here. It describes the storm, vast and careless masses of water, roaring and ruthless skies, and a mighty storm petrel fearlessly taking on both elements. it even dares the tempest to get more intense, as all other oceanic forms of life (seagulls, grebes, a penguin) hide in horror before the face of the storm. stormy petrel in russian (буревестник), if translated literally, means 'the announcer of the storm'. there is a short old cartoon which depicts how this poem would function as a leitner, although the cartoon is very comedic and lighthearted. unfortunately, i wasn't able to find a version with english subtitles, but i think it would be clear just from the visuals"

Of the City of the Saved… (Philip Purser-Hallard) "It's set in a city where every human or descendant of humanity who has ever lived has been reborn all at once, and the book makes sure you understand the scope of that. To pull out a few statistics, the city is the size of a spiral galaxy and has a population of a hundred undecillion - or 1 followed by 38 zeros. There's a watchtower at the city's centre which is the width of a continent and the height of one astronomical unit (the distance of Earth to the sun), and a city council ampitheatre the size of a gas giant. When I think of a book emphasizing physical vastness, I think Of the City of the Saved, because it doesn't just gloss over the size and call it incomprehensible, it makes sure you begin to grasp the scale of things. And that every character in the book is just one person on that scale."

i think an important part of the life of each of us is a rather homoerotic trope about love is perceived as hatred. it's about obsession, about how war between people becomes the MEANING OF EXISTENCE. you think that seeing your enemy dead will make you feel relieved. joyful. but all you feel is desolation. literally nothing.

burning trope. i think Danko (“Legend of Danko” M. Gorky) when he tore out his heart to show people the light, he just created IT and people followed him
