My favorite poet is Galway Kinnell

All good poems are love poems

1230 - teutonic knights begin violent conversion of the Prussians to Christianity

I don't know, but it sounds interesting. I'd also like to know

For my part, I do think that your passage puts forth a protagonist who is a bit tragic. Of course he gets what he wants--he is proud, and that's an integral elemt of classical tragedy. The scene...

busted.

I'll add Thomas Mann, John Stuart Mill, and my wild card, Tennyson.

Great! It's one of my all-time favorites. And if you want to read about an interesting life-story for a novel (such as it's composition, publication, and reception), then check it out. When...

Osho, a society without gods is not a society without laws

This is the most absurd thing I've ever read on the boards, YesNo. I'm going to document this.



It's astonishing that you would a) attribute the acts of a Cambodian regime to their lack of...

I think it's a poem with a good grip on the imaginative digestion of reality...but is ultimately devoid of any discovery or new understanding. A typical Plath effort: fun but nothing that might...

Yep, totally consistent character. You got it!



Back on topic: to the OP, I don't know if we can call Satan the main character (or protagonist) of the Bible, but you're on the right track. ...
