[Dastrix Slogan]

This one still carries the magic for me thank you for the bump!

 

[Nietzche]

calm . . . still . . . determined,

and one year older.

:D

I was just thinking of this poem at uni today... whenever I come across the word clandestine, it reminds me of this poem. This stands out in my mind as one of the best works I have read here.

Thumbs up, as always Nietzche

(P.S. post some more please!)

 

[harraser]

nice one kat!! one of Nietzche's best.

So this has been bumped a few times, but there are new faces around here now which may not have read it. I still love it.

 

[(Wordy)]

Yeah, I'd read some of Nietzche's (as opposed to Nietzsche's) work before, but not this one.

The ending just soars. I think it would be a fitting epitaph for a great writer (but only the greatest of the great).

The words he will use
To rewrite the world he inhabits
Will fall
-effortlessly-
into place.

He is calm;

still

and absolutly determined.

 

[Nietzche]

Three years have passed since the calamitous events of my personal black Tuesday. Looking back I remember thinking, “three years Jeff, just three years until you and your car insurance can forget this day ever happened!” Well, I am happy to report that while I still remember the day clearly, my car insurance provider seems to have forgotten!!

Of course this is not all I have to report. The intervening three years have brought with them many unexpected surprises, good and bad. But beyond any shadow of a doubt I have clearly come out ahead. A very direct line of causality can –effortlessly- be traced from the depths of that night to the most blessed relationship I could ever have imagined.

I want to thank Up All Night for bumping this thread just a few days ago.

And I must thank my wonderful girlfriend for her unceasing affection, support, and love without which I could never be as calm, still, and absolutely determined, as I am today. Thank your Rebecca. :D

EDIT: You should thank youR Rebecca if you're lucky enough to have one. :D You see, I accidently placed an R at the end of what was supposed to be "Thank you Rebecca," and I thought it was funny. :D
