العلم زين فكن للعلم مكتسباً
وَكُنْ لَهُ طالبا ما عشْتَ مُقْتَبِسا.

اركن إليه وثق بالله واغنَ به
وكن حليماً رزين العقل محترسا.

وَكُنْ فَتًى ماسكا مَحضَ التُّقى ورعا،
للدِّيْنِ مُغتَنِما لِلعِلمِ مُفْتَرسا.

فمن تخلقَ بالآداب ظلَّ بها
رَئِيْسَ قَوْمٍ إِذَا ما فارق الرؤسا. "

@nathan193293 @JaycelAdkins Might be a shortcoming of my phrasing. But my initial response was actually in agreement with yours.

[𝓜.𝓗 @iHardned]

@JaycelAdkins @nathan193293 By nuance, I mean why say ‘no’ or ‘yes’? Leisure reader, student of a text, scholar—to two of the three secondary sources are essential. To one, it’s not, but it is for their work’s editor. 2/2

[𝓜.𝓗 @iHardned]

@JaycelAdkins @nathan193293 Secondary literature is much more than interpretation, which isn’t necessary. It can mean historical semantics, it can be textual criticism, etc. Without 2nd lit, two thirds of Shakespeare’s rhymes are unrhymed, and most of his puns are lost. 1/2

[𝓜.𝓗 @iHardned]

@JaycelAdkins @nathan193293 If secondary literature is ‘author means this’ then correct. But that’s not all secondary literature is. Nuance is better than false dilemmas.

@the_book_land To be precise, in the letter he’s quoting Fanny Brawne.

@BretVDB @SitLibertas Interesting replies to this. One to add as well, simply, for the sound of it. ‘Three’ and ‘thrise’ are related—doubled word as the doubled hands; ‘hands thrise’ hisses, and ‘thrise multiplyde’ glides.

@the_book_land The Odes, Isabella, Hyperion, some later sonnets (mostly the majority of his 1820 volume).

[𝓜.𝓗 @iHardned]

@JaycelAdkins Definitely the weakest written out of the last three by Park Hae-Young, but it feels like a memoir of sorts, which focuses more on the writer’s conflict, so the debut/directing were glossed over at the end. Maybe that’s a reason.

@DAMendelsohnNYC Dizzying, intoxicating, mind-taking? If colors then perhaps the texture and color of the ocean at sunset?

[𝓜.𝓗 @iHardned]

@JaycelAdkins Depends on what you’re reading, why, and your comprehension. A ‘high’ page count to A, is a low page count to B, and an even lower count to a Harold Bloom or a John Stuart Mill.

@CallMeCellador_ @BretVDB Proper meaning of inspiration as madness is being moved by emotions more than calculated intellect—both play part. Something that wove itself in the poet’s unconscious and sprang out in a moment of excitement—Wordsworth’s ‘overflow.’ An interesting comparison by Shakespeare:

@Kulambq @the_book_land Mainly a Western’s modern formulation that ‘progress’ has a forward trajectory—whether branched from eschatological extrapolation, or materialistic/humanistic/secularistic philosophies; ‘the best is yet to come. We are superior to those before us.’ Pics from J.Bury & M.H. Abrams.

@JaycelAdkins Their ‘The Master and Margarita’ is probably my favorite paperback. A beauty.

[𝓜.𝓗 @iHardned]

@evie_ @DanielGalef @BretVDB @ae_stallings I’d say both inherited it from Milton—Keats especially, whose usage closely echoes Milton’s:
‘as the wakeful bird
Sings darkling, and in shadiest covert hid
Tunes her nocturnal Note.’
There are some works that surveys a poet’s reading of another, e.g., in pic

@JaycelAdkins This how a normal conversation about literature with AI goes. The more one knows about the subject, the more they’ll notice AI’s hallucination masked in feigning confidence.

[𝓜.𝓗 @iHardned]

@BretVDB Brings to mind Keats’ axiom: “poetry should surprise by a fine excess, and not by singularity; It should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.”
