Bunch of opium smoking, good for nothing fuckwit Bullshit artists.... You heard me Coleridge.. Take you Lime tree bower and shove it where the sun don't shine. Also, Your friend Bill Shakespeare wouldn't like what you said about his love interest Hamlet. You should think before you speak, but thinking is something foreign to your lot isn't it ? And as for you, Percy Bysshe, Prometheus could extinguish you with a fart, so feeble is your genius. Oh, and Jane Austen ?, Stop moping about that random boy you met at Northanger abbey, You know he was only interested in your money, you naive idiotic dolt. And lastly, poor, Emily.. Just because you did not have any interesting things happen in your love life, does not mean you get to terrorize prospective rental clients. Seriously. Fuck the lot of you, and the teachers that force it down students throats.. You should be shocked that your mediocre works, are being force fed down students throats... ESPECIALLY YOU SAMUEL, You, who complained about being in school because you couldn't keep your mind on your own fucking work. Douchebag. Even American Idol kicks your collective asses.. considering how much popular culture loves raping your works, I mean, look at poor Mary. First you, Percy, start flirting with her sister, and then the entire western world takes her work and rapes it up the bum. Seriously. douchebags.
Impressed! Our sweet, demure favourite son finds a little of the GRRRR factor... focus that energy sunshine.
No. I just hate the lazy. Good for nothing fucks. At least the victorians and the modernists understood what they were trying to do. romaticists just chucked shit at a wall and saw what stuck. I see what you did there, Goya.
There are enough lazy, good for nothing fucks right here on sciforums to worry about. Why get all worked up over a couple of dead guys ?
Because their rotting, decayed corpses, stuffed with literature are being shoved down our throats. I mean, Bill only tasted nice when it went with Wine served by Claudius, but Romanticists just taste like dirt, with a little bit of Frost, Served after Midnight.
With an unique flavour. Much like Bertie's every flavour beans. This flavour tastes nothing like passionfruit of Hamlet, Just only of dirt, and week old ensemened sheets, in the case of Lord Byron, who couldn't keep his fly zipped. Stupid Don Juan.
You mean you have to read a whole lot of them for English class, right ? If your grade is good enough, you might get by with just reading summaries Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Tch.. Tch... The student is not engaging with the text. Of course not, Who'd want to engage with a bunch of twats, who can't keep focus on one topic through their drug addled haze ?
Read about the authors, then read their work. Byron and Shelley were absolute heroes. Well, they did a good job at selling that image. I'm more interested in their lives, than their works, but the former might make you appreciate the latter more.
Would you rather, Bill Blake? Who probably was more like a fairy than the representations he drew ? Who also somehow tried to imagine god, and was rightfully regarded as bat shit insane ? Or perhaps, "Lord Byron", the womanizer who really, had no idea what the fuck he was doing in Greece, and got killed for it ?
Oh, yes.. We have been told, time and time again, how the "lovestruck" (more like dumbstruck), Shelley's eloped.. I mean, the only good thing to come out of that was ..well.. nothing.. unless you count Percy's last wife drowning herself and her unborn child.. Byron.. Oh, The prototype rebel eh ?, With aspirations of upper class society, but really, at heart a scoundrel ? "Mad, bad and dangerous to know" Oh, and the language these romanticists use in their wretched works .. these go down well, in a high school, like wasabi sauce mixed with turds... I mean, At least Bill shakespeare. had the decency to include common, universal themes..
Amusing rant, but did you really start hating the romantics after you actually read all the works you quoted here? If it is so, that's weird. If not, you should acquaint yourself a bit more. Still, each to their own. IMO the romanticism was, in its time a very timely and needed movement. In fact, I don't even think it would be that anachronistic today.
Resentment brewn from a mixture of coercion and guilt, and of course, the inevitable frustration, similar to that dastardly old man, who has something against poems.. Stupid mariner... It was in this spirit, that Mr. Blake and others attempted to create something, anything, to fulfill their miserable lives, Jane Austen perhaps has a small mote of truth, when she remarks upon the utter pretension, under which the romanticist works were read. An Act of rebellion, nay, a pitiful attempt to be noticed, I mean, Who the hell watches Ice crystals grow at midnight ? And can call it it's secret ministry ? These opiate bastards, thought that the end of the world was coming, I mean, at least poor Mary, attempted to envision it with a sense of plot.. Frankenstein was a solid peice of work, Unlike the pretentious and utterly disinteresting Wuthering heights... A story of idiotic love, and really, an annoying father.. At least Mary didn't bring her family issues into this, other than her stupid dead baby. If she had listened to her parents, then the baby wouldn't have happened... and If Emily Bronte, met an actual heathcliffe, perhaps she'd stop glorifying him and stuffing sympathy for him down our throats.
Pray, Ye, sir, do not misunderestimate the power of books to corrupt and totally idiocize the minds. Indeed, The thought, and fire warms me even now..
Prototype? Not really, there were plenty before him that led similar lifestyles, but they just weren't as good at self publicity as Byron. Have you see 'The Libertine'? While a fictionalised account of the life and times of John Wilmot, it captures the essence of a war hero, drunkard, poet, and controversial character, who did all this some 70 years before Byron. Byron had tough acts to follow. He was a Lord, that wasn't an aspiration, it was a title. No, at heart a romantic. Just not a well received one in England thanks to his predelictions. That was said of him, not by him.
