Should literature makes sense?

Well, maybe sometimes.

Should literature also make some nonsense?

Well, why not?

Why not write buttocks, a man to see books, I dance to say books, no limits said gauques give up up up up up up up up up I meant to say books I meant to say books.

And that wasn't even my fault. That was the fault of the voice-recognition software.

Maybe from now on I'll blame everything on the voice recognition software.

Seoul, no so! So should literature have to make sense? Would it be better if literature made more nonsense?

literature is a jungle of words it is up to one to find their own way out of it.
sense is a broad meaning what makes sense to me may well not make sense to you and so yeah just go with the flow of words.
nothing has to have a meaning if it does not want to.
literature is not a messenger it is a leisurely walk and where it ends up taking you is what matters.

This makes way too much sense!

But at the moment, I'm kind of in a mood for a bunch of nonsense.

What do we need grammar for?

What do we need words four? Why should we use for instead of four? Why shouldn't we lose words? Why shouldn't we use un-words? Why shouldn't we make up words? Why shouldn't all the words in a novel be made up?

Why should our conversations about literature make any sense? Why shouldn't we talk nonsense to each other? Wouldn't nonsense be more fun?

Once again I really like this. I especially liked the idea of a jungle of words. Flow of words is great too.

Should Think Things Be Tattered with Un-think Things?
Some thoughts by Wolf Larsen

I’m not sure. It’s all strawberries to me. But if blue sky were made out of marmalade what would you think? Would you sink sidewalks into your kitchen sinks? Or would you fry your own voice with automobiles?

Sometimes, only the vegetables hurt. But that’s because of Siamese twins.

If your thoughts be carried away to other galaxies, is that the fault of the seagulls? After all, only the seagulls know the answer to all of the thousands of murals inside the head of the Siamese twins Genghis Khan & Charles Manson. (I am totally fascinated with Charles Manson -
but only when I dress up like a transvestite, but let’s not talk about that anymore today.)

Really?

Sometimes when I’m picking my nose I think about intellectual questions like how many bananas in literature? tRiLLiiiNsS? Philosophical dildos in my questionable dissertations of? Slash, what?

I enjoy nonsense, but the main issue with it is that it is unable to sustain interest for any prolonged period, unlike literature that has some sense of purpose.

A Game of Pool with Wolf Larson (and a twenty-hundred year old transsexual): an Oedipus piece that makes too much sense.

Ineluctable: hersofar the harlot that ever extanted, that insolubly convoluted and condescended to be an insodality of ladyies of the dark. Miss! You desiderate everythong down there, in the tunnel of the night.

Immarred by this expurience of the fungus of love; poring over the pores of spores of the great humaneity (ipseity of the) anyway, she inanyway didn’t. Further she doesn’t extant.

Incontervisibly reversible; only the viewers of the start see the end. Macroscopic and extracoptic religious forons who don

The end of life with pride is faced by us all; when pride with life is faced; and contour of it –

It’s the eight ball!

Those were some great posts! Ha ha ha!

You know what I was thinking: I was thinking it would be cool to have a literary riot. No destruction of property, no violence - just a riot for the sake of literature. We could spray paint poetry on building walls, scream Shakespeare at the police, stuff like that.

The literary riots could become an annual event. We could choose a city at random every year and have a literary riot there. It could be a very educational experience for all! We could have the avant-garde literary riot, the Shakespearean literary riot, the graffiti-artist literary riot (where street art & literature become combined!)

I’m not trying to make fun of the current situation in St. Louis. If I was getting shot by the police all the time I would be mad too!

It's just that I find those riots to be inspirational! I feel like writing riots on the page! I want my poetry to riot!

I think literature should make sense. It can be quite dense, complex, multi-layered, but non-sense? Why bother to read if it's not understandable from the outset? One might as well pick up a book in a foreign language. That would make as much sense as anything.

nonsense, even while being ingested, has to have a promise of sense, near or far, in order not to be thrown up. i have read passages of great nonsense that instantly transformed into genius in the proper context. otherwise, one might assume the author is being too full of oneself and waving their dick in everyone's faces.

I think I want to write a novel where nothing makes any sense. Not even one sentence.

Warning: if you are of a puritanical nature please do not read this, thank you for your understanding.

I only want to eat my National Guard tanks with my marmalade. I only want words of riots or riots of words! I want the bombs to fall up instead of down so that those predator drones are eaten by English literature.

I only want to wipe my *** with the correct grammatical English structures of the king of blueberries, because new correct English grammatical structures from the bodily fluids of all our Penises! To celebrate our Penises as the new grammatical English structures of the queen of Alice in wonderland!

Please re-write this post without using correct English grammar and with full use of the nonsensical words. Why not practice what you preach?

The problem and glory of being young is not knowing about the past, its problems and its glorious solutions:


Ping image only just almost never one second light time blue and white in the wind. Head naught nose ears white holes mouth white seam like sewn invisible over. Only the eyes given blue fixed front light blue almost white only colour alone uncover. Light heat white planes shining white one only shining white infinite but that known not. Ping a nature only just almost never one second with image same time a little less blue and white in the wind. Traces blues light grey eyes holes light blue almost white fixed front ping a meaning only just almost never ping silence. Bare white one yard fixed ping fixed elsewhere no sound legs joined like sewn heels together right angle hands hanging palms front. Head naught eyes holes light blue almost white fixed front silence within. Ping elsewhere always there but that known not. Ping perhaps not alone one second with image same time a little less dim eye black and white half closed along lashes imploring that much memory almost never. A far flash of time all white all over all of old ping flash white walls shining white no trace eyes holes light blue almost white last colour ping white over. Ping fixed last elsewhere legs joined like sewn heels together right angle hands hanging palms front head naught eyes white invisible fixed front over. Given rose only just one yard invisible bare white all known without within over. White ceiling never seen ping of old only just almost never one second light time white floor never seen ping of old perhaps there. Ping of old only just perhaps a meaning nature one second almost never blue and white in that much memory henceforth never. White planes no traces shining white one only shining white infinite but that known not. Light heat all known all white heart breath no sound. Head naught eyes fixed front old ping last murmur one second perhaps not alone eye unlustrous black and white half closed long lashes imploring ping silence ping over

I was wondering what is the best way for writers to destroy the English language?

Of course, some will wonder why destroy the English language?

My answer is: why not?

Your posts are not anarchic enough Mr Madadh Allaidh. They make too much sense. You're probably a stoke broker in your day job.
