"Don't Take It Personally" How Would You Like Me To Take It Then? Professionally? Romantically? Academically?

Very interesting to me that T. S. Eliot is often quoted as saying "Good poets borrow. Great poets steal." When in fact what he actually said was "One of the surest of tests is the way in which a poet borrows. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time, or alien in language, or diverse in interest." Which of course has a completely different meaning, less "All the greats plagiarize," and more "Completely original ideas are a fantasy; the originality lies in how you weave an idea that has been previously woven differently."

nobody on this site is ever ever EVER going to top running a blog dedicated entirely to posting cute pics of sweet old dogs in a shelter for a year and gradually becoming one of the most recognized blogs on the website, then without warning dropping “i just want to get dicked down again =/” with 0 explanation and abandoning the blog. not deleting it, not explaining anything, just leaving the whole thing as a monument. fucking flawless posting. literally the best of all time.

“Blood sweat and tears” such an excellent method of measuring investment. Yeah I worked really hard on this, hurt myself a lot, cried the whole time. stress nosebleed, sweated profusely, sobbed openly. Bleeding sweating crying etc. And everyone goes oh. Well done.

anyone else been letting the days go by? letting the water hold you down?
