Evil exists only when its known. Adam and Eve were public in their fall. To sin in private is not to sin at all.

Mailer stabbing his

the impossibility of being human

Maupassant going mad in a rowboat

Dostoyevsky lined up against a wall to be shot

Crane off the back of a boat into the propeller

the impossibility

Sylvia with her head in the oven like a baked potato

Harry Crosby leaping into that Black Sun

Lorca murdered in the road by Spanish troops

the impossibility

Artaud sitting on a madhouse bench

Chatterton drinking rat poison

Shakespeare a plagiarist

Beethoven with a horn stuck into his head against deafness

the impossibility the impossibility

Nietzsche gone totally mad

the impossibility of being human

all too human

this breathing

in and out

out and in

these punks

these cowards

these champions

these mad dogs of glory

moving this little bit of light toward us

impossibly.

Despite all my saddened rage, I am still a girl in her room reading her silly little books, watching her silly little films, listening to her silly little playlists.

been thinking about her a lot. Good girl, Laika.

"Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against losing control - of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind.”

In both Ancient Greek and Latin literature we can find three types of anger. Even if they can seem similar they differ from each other mostly for what causes them; whereas in latin these three angers are connected and are the source of one another, in greek they are separated and are caused by different things.

Lets see them:

μῆνις (mênis): wrath, anger that lasts. The same anger Achilles feels in the opening of the Iliad.

ὀργή (orgē): fury, caused voluntary; thanks to drugs and alcohol the use of reason is lost. Characteristic of bacchantes (maenad): in their Dionysian rituals they assumed narcotic substances. From this word also comes the word "orgy".

χόλος (chòlos): momentary anger. From this word comes the word "colon".

Seneca recognise three stages that lead to anger:

rabies: momentary anger. (My sibling eats the last slice of pizza, my slice of pizza, I'm angry because of that, but after some time I'm not angry anymore)

ira: anger that lasts. (I'm still angry with my sibling for eating my slice of pizza, I will make 'em pay for what they did)

furor: loss of reason, caused by lack of control (I'm too angry, I can’t control my self, how my sibling dared to eat my pizza?!? I k!ll them for what they did)

They form from the deponent verb irascor.

(no sibling has been hurt in the making of this post)
