Zaria and Rooty, Welcome to the forum.
well...hello all.... :wave:
i'm actually shy at first meetings, so i'll just tell you a couple of things about myself... i'm from serbia and montenegro, and i'm a student at the faculty of philosophy in novi sad. because i'm too lazy for any physical activities i enjoy reading, writing...anything that can be considered a work of art... so i guess this is it for now... :angel:
Hello gomboc, Welcome to literature network. Have a nice time here and keep on posting!
Welcome:
Zaria--good luck playing Mr. Bingley. That sounds fun.
Rooty--Well, I'm all for female equality. :nod: Are you interested in feminist literature particularly, or just generally interested in social rights for women?
Gomboc--Don't be shy. If you like reading and writing you're in the right place. By the by, I like the Botticelli.
Aye, Nightshade qualifies, I believe. Welcome!Quote:

How pleasant it is to find a site like this
This seems to be a home for we who search for an on-line site where "real" ideas of all sorts might be found. I’ve never written in such a forum, so I don’t quite know how to speak my thoughts. Well, since I’m good at dialog, conversations here might well be mutually rewarding...
Identity first: I’m of a time of much more formality in writing, a curse in a time of swift wording. Unless careful, I become like Henry James . (Now there: Even that was more of an apologia than an introduction!)
I like reading and writing and the arithmetic of sorting words into coherence of “tell-craft”. Wishing to separate depth from breadth I try to listen very closely and to be less than wordy.
Is this of any interest to you? Wishing an answer soon, I’ll cat-like leap to put these few lines onto the forum.
Thanks to all of you of cleverness and friendliness. I hope to be able to be part of this on-line conversational home.
FYI: I'm an old guy in San Francisco, where I've lived most of my life.
Hello. I just registered and have posted a few poems in the Personal Poetry forum. I'm a teacher of Latin, history, and English. Right now, I'm attempting to collect and read all 20 of Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels - in order - even though I've read a few individually before.
Hello to all the newbies :) hope you have fun here.
Thanks for your most interesting note, reminding me of yet another subject that I’ve wished to learn more. My own areas of study have been numerous, and now--- you give me another one! How to do it all in one lifetime? Because of the fascination these novels hold for so many, I'll search for a copy of the 1st volume. How far beyond that must remain a topic of conjecture. (You see, I’ve attempted to have a life unbounded by any one discipline. While this has its virtues, a fatal failing of such a life is that it leaves one existing as little more than a painful example of Hegel’s “absence of freedom” [where freedom is “perfect obedience to perfect law”]. )Quote:

I shall certainly read your poetry, since such writing is of intense interest to me. After studying and reading it for very many years, I realize that I know less and less about how to define it. I do believe, however, that is the fountainhead of all literary (and more) expression.
Any prefatory comments before I look at what you’ve been doing?
My typeface became monstrous, quite inadvertently. Many apologies, GeorgeW
Agreed: Literature need have no other end than its own expression. (My writing often sounds too much like self-indulgent Edwardian speech. You see, I find it difficult to express my thoughts simply, truly and properly.) In this case, then, using simpler terms, perhaps, let me say, "Sit back and watch the sun rise".Quote:
