Seul ton amour éclaire mon ciel – Only your love lights up my sky

Je vous souhaite une très belle journée à toutes/tous 🙂 Aucune aurore boréaleNe pourra colorer mon ciel.Loin de toi je m’affaleRien n’est plus pareil. Je ne sais plus comment je visDans ces instants loin de toiChaque jour je me languisJe sens la morsure du froidCelle qui me paralyseQuand l’absence perdureCelle qui me brutaliseSans plus d’ouverture […]

Birth of Lewis Carroll (1832–1898) – The Writer Who Taught English How to Play

Lewis Carroll revealed that English could think by playing. Through paradox and precision, his nonsense showed that illogic may conceal rigorous logic. By bending syntax and meaning, he expanded English imagination, proving that language gains depth when rules are tested, inverted, and joyfully broken through wit curiosity and fearless play.

Birth of E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776–1822) – The Writer Who Taught English to Fear the Mind

E. T. A. Hoffmann reshaped literary imagination by turning terror inward. His stories fractured reality, destabilized reason, and made the mind itself the stage of fear and wonder. Through translation, his influence transformed English fantasy, horror, and psychological fiction, expanding narrative depth and redefining how literature explores consciousness.

Philip Levine (1928–2015) – The Poet Who Gave Working-Class English Its Permanent Voice

Born in Detroit, Philip Levine taught American poetry to listen to labor. His plainspoken English carried factories, fatigue, and moral clarity into verse, proving working-class speech could bear philosophy, anger, and dignity. Poetry learned to speak without ornament, for lives previously unheard, and the language never narrowed again afterward ever.

Trauma meets Shame and Sexuality

Hello! I’ve started to study Alison Armstrong to better understand how men operate. A thing that she talks about is the idea of ethics – people struggle with them when they have them. People without them don’t give a shit. This is also true about things like shame. And since a lot of my trauma […]
