'Misery' again!


The picture is of Anthon Chekhov

'This is a story of how one man's grief is ignored by the public, just when he needs someone's attention the most. A story of how we blind ourselves to other people's sufferings because we do not want to deal with the pain associated with it.'

Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!


I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far, that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er.

--Macbeth, Act III, scene iv


.

The Old Man and the Sea


'In all of Hemingway’s works, he told two stories, one that was visible on the surface, and one that was hidden beneath the surface. '

Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
