Entourage quotes

"Thoughts of a dry brain in a dry season" is a line from T.S. Eliot's poem Gerontion, capturing feelings of spiritual emptiness, lost vitality, and fragmented memory in old age, reflecting post-World War I disillusionment where passion and meaning are replaced by weariness and a fading connection to life, symbolized by waiting for rain that never comes, notes



Punishment" by the Irish poet Seamus Heaney. 

"...who have stood dumb

when your betraying sisters, cauled in tar,

wept by the railings, who would connive

in civilized outrage

yet understand the exact

and tribal, intimate revenge." 


T.S. Eliot quote you're looking for, expressing the idea that one is always alone, comes from his play The Cocktail Party, specifically the lines: "Hell is oneself, hell is alone, the other figures in it Merely projections. There is nothing to escape from And nothing to escape to. One is always alone". 

The call of the open sea" is a widespread expression used to describe a strong desire for ocean travel, adventure, and the unknown. This idea is explored in works by authors like Joseph Conrad in The Mirror of the Sea, who writes about the "open sea before her bows", and Bernard Moitessier, who noted one does not ask "a tame seagull why it needs to disappear

We are no longer alone, waiting for the night, waiting for Godot, waiting for... waiting."

 "would understand the exact / And tribal, intimate revenge": This line from Seamus Heaney's poem "Punishment"

Susan Sontag: By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable

Susan Sontag on the Trouble with Treating Art and Cultural Material as “Content” – The Marginalian https://share.google/sGXpJ7UAc4flEsBXP

Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.

 extreme cynicism, much like extreme naiveté, ultimately deceives or misleads the individual themselves about the true nature of reality or human motivation. Both perspectives are seen as flawed because they represent a resignation from critical thinking and a balanced view of the world.

Grant Gilmore: "Law reflects, but in no sense determines the moral worth of a society. . . . The better the society, the less law there will be. In Heaven, there will be no law, and the lion will lie down with the lamb. The worse the society, the more law there will be. In Hell, there will be nothing but law, and due process will be meticulously observe

Eliot poem called “Little Gidding” written in the 1940s. In the poem's final section, Eliot makes a case for the generative potential of an ending: What we call the beginning is often the end And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

Bredlik

 https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

Manglish and its Cina Particles

"The ubiquitous word lah ( [lɑ́]   or   [lɑ̂] ), used at the end of a sentence, can also be described as a particle that simultaneously asserts a position and entices solidarity.  Note that 'lah' is often written after a space for clarity, but there is never a pause before it. This is because originally in Malay, 'lah' is appended to the end of the word and is not a separate word by itself." SNEAKING SUSPICION: "lah" was originally from the Cantonese practicing south of China. The land of Malaya had relations with China since the Ming dynasty, when China was the protector of the Malaccan Sultanate (maybe even from the 5th-6th century), and the use of la as a sentence-suffix particle got integrated into the Malay language its formation, probably during the second phase is Early Modern Malay (1500-ca. 1850) that witnessed the indigenization of Arabic loan words, changes in the affix system, and a rather liberal word order.  Confirmation alternatives: ...
