  1. Well, maybe...it's not so much related as it is, codependent...ah, that's not the word...but I guess it will have to do. They work together in a sort of way...they are totally different and work two different ways, and yet, taste determines what yo like. Feeling determines how you feel about what you like...gosh, it took all that rambling to finally say what I was trying to say...
  2. You might want to read the blog entry that I just posted.
  3. I can think of a lewd way to demonstrate what I wrote. Taste is closely relted to feelings, so much so that they become indistinguishable.
  4. Yes. I can't change your mind, but neither can you change my mind. I still think that when you take interest in a specific tyoe of poem, or poet, it's called your taste...I think feelings can be affected depending on your taste of poetry!
  5. Feelings include satisfaction, joy, disgust, etc. It is perfectly reasonable for me to be elated by some poetry and disgusted by other. Isn't it?

    I can understand someone not liking his prose style.
  6. Well, feelings are happy, sad, mad, anxious...those things.
    Tastes are what you like and don't like. Good, bad, pretty, ugly...see what I'm saying?

    Oh, I'm pretty sure he did partake in making this world a little better to live in, but I would apologize to him personally if her were alive, but when I read something, I really do imagine too vividly what the words say...which is good and bad.

    Okay, thank you!
  7. Feelings, tastes, can you define a clear difference? I don't see any clear difference.

    It's too bad that you don't like Thoreau's writing. He was very important in truly separating church and state.

    I'll read the story later.
  8. Hey, can you read this, and tell me what you think? I'm toying with this idea, so I need sound feedback.

  9. well then, for once in my lfe, I feel a little humorous. Than you.

    lol. touche. BUT!
    what you were talking, I have to argue that that was not feelings, but tastes, and when I have a mix of tastes, I call them mixed tastes...what would you call it?

    Well, then let's leave it a writer, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't read his works so good. I didn't like his dark sarcasm(or whatever you want to call it) in Civil Disobedience. Turned my stomach. Made me want to-->
  10. Crating was unexpected, incongruous, and one theory of humor says that incongruity is central to humor.

    I called my mixture of feelings "mixed feelings", therefore, it is called "mixed feelings". What would you call it?

    Thoreau wasn't a poet. I suppose that he might have written a few poems, but he was an essayist and writer of travel literature.
