("awesome" is a better word, but I haven't found a suitable translation.) <br /><br />Segundo, does the enthusiasm (better, the drive) I see here not smell somewhat of Marx? I wouldn't think it bad if it did.<br /><br />Para alguien que piensa sobre todo en las cosas políticas y menos en las artísticas –o sea, yo–, es difícil no tomarse las cosas en serio (es decir, por sus efectos en el mundo), and that pretty much ruins most poetry for me (although I have found a safe haven in Pope's rhymes recently). I guess learning to read poetry is, first of all, an exercise in detachment, which comes more easily to some (probablemente, tú y algunos de tus amigos en este blog), and less so for others (yo). Al final, es demasiado fácil caer en las distinciones analíticas, como aquella de Kant entre "lo bello" y "lo sublime", que no deja de ser una curiosidad filosófica, y perder la fuerza.<br /><br />En cualquier caso, ¡me ha encantado!, pero si puedo dar una impresión más, diría que este Manifesto -tal vez como su antepasado comunista- tiene quizá un poco más de furia que de esperanza, y he ahí algo de su fuerza, pues la esperanza es bella, pero no creo que sea potente.<br /><br />Great lines: <br /><br />"Beat us to a sad pulp in this purgatory of madness"<br /><br />"Kill our names with your syntax of suicide, seize the day and turn it into the blackest night"<br /><br />Un abrazo,<br /><br />Pedro JoséPJIFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537127159342537363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237082932149178927.post-78458987024468097022010-06-01T06:59:08.238-07:002010-06-01T06:59:08.238-07:00O Male!

Hahaha I really believe you should grab a hammer and I don’t know break something (windows are way too risky, try something wooden-like, it’s stronger yet more satisfying to easen up the pain) <br /><br />My fav lines were:<br /><br />“For the yes you raped with the specter of sadness and distrust”<br />And<br /><br />“Kill our names with your syntax of suicide, seize the day and turn it into the blackest night”<br /><br />I don’t know, maybe I like violence and black, because they’re go together like peanut butter and bread (jelly isn’t for all) and they seem delicious! The combination of all is just twisty….I wish you revolutionary souls good luck haha (though they could have a bit more charm! Or is that prohibited with gory wishes of annihilation?)<br /><br />p.s.: The things we lost in the fire.. sabía que me sonaba a algo! Es una Halle Berry movie de 2007… though, it’s not at all like your poem.. or is it?MSierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383198750500895960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2237082932149178927.post-88869257962977207232010-05-31T00:34:04.407-07:002010-05-31T00:34:04.407-07:00Oh sí,
