I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.

Welcome, oh life! I go forth for the millionth time to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.

bunch of country men were the students, they did country dancing

she was teaching a specific thing in the song

she walked down a dirt road

the song was on a wood sign

“He drew forth a phrase from his treasure and spoke it softly to himself: —A day of dappled seaborne clouds. The phrase and the day and the scene harmonised in a chord. Words. Was it their colours? He allowed them to glow and fade, hue after hue: sunrise gold, the russet and green of apple orchards, azure of waves, the greyfringed fleece of clouds. No, it was not their colours: it was the poise and balance of the period itself. Did he then love the rhythmic rise and fall of words better than their associations of legend and colour? Or was it that, being as weak of sight as he was shy of mind, he drew less pleasure from the reflection of the glowing sensible world through the prism of a language manycoloured and richly storied than from the contemplation of an inner world of individual emotions mirrored perfectly in a lucid supple periodic prose?”

— Joyce, J., 2000. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. London: Penguin Books. p. 180-181.

the portrait of a poet as your best friend be like. hey i can write about all the experiences of womanhood in four lines and make a grown man cry. i can braid your hair with tiny metaphors i've plucked from my journal especially for you because i love you so. can you take me to the stars in your eyes tonight? have you ever looked at yourself the way poets look at the moon? your eyes humble even the most beautiful of sunsets, of course the horizon is envious of you. mind if i trace your palm lines and mimic constellations out of it? you hugged me yesterday and i bloomed like spring. i heard you like talking to birds. never doubted you as a princess anyway. i noticed the sunflowers looking for you first thing in the morning. can't blame them, though. your crescent moon-like smile outdoes the brightest of suns. annotated books, you ask? i've left them at your doorstep with some lilacs and daisies. to say, i love you, would be an understatement, here let me write a poem about you with little imagery that'll hug you the same way, your most comfortable clothes do.

But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave.

He pressed his face against the pane of the window and gazed out into the darkening street. Forms passed this way and that through the dull light. And that was life.

forgot about my self-imposed tradition of judging the paternal merits of classic lit characters so assorted modernist boys it is

Holden Caulfield (The Catcher in the Rye): Seeing him with his little sister, yes I think he would be a good father when he grows up. I think he would be really careful not to just outsource the raising of his child like his parents did with him

Zooey Glass (Franny and Zooey): He totally has fun uncle energy but idk about dad energy

Frederic Henry (A Farewell to Arms): *spoilers in this one* He is technically a father but he really only seems to care about Catherine and not the baby at all so 😬 but maybe if he’d actually had a kid to get to know he would be an ok father but that’s all the credit I’m giving him

Jake Barnes (The Sun Also Rises): He would definitely do the classic dad activities with his kid (fishing, watching sports, etc.) and I think one on one activities like that are really meaningful for a kid. So yeah I think he would be a good father if only he could be…

Nick Carraway (The Great Gatsby): I don’t really have any opinions on this man idk why I put him on this list. Seems like the kind of dad who wouldn’t say much to his child except to drop a bit of cryptic wisdom every so often that haunts them for the rest of their life

Jay Gatsby (The Great Gatsby): Seems like the kind of guy to forget he has a baby until they like pull on his pant leg one day as a toddler and are just like 👁️👁️ and Gatsby’s like “oh old sport have we met?”

Stephen Dedalus (A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man): I love him dearly but no he’s got too many of his own problems
