without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own

Oh yes, it’s time for a crazy finals-post. Finals? Rachel haven’t you graduated already, for fuck’s sake? Close. So close. I’m doing my last project, the final final of my undergraduate career. It’s an analysis of the role of thumos (the soul) in The Iliad. It’s actually really cool, but very time consuming. Which is why I’m procrastinating on Tumblr.

“I suppose this was why I asked her to marry me: to give myself something to be moored to. Perhaps this was why, in Spain, she decided that she wanted to marry me. But people can’t, unhappily, invent their mooring posts, their lovers and their friends, anymore than they can invent their parents. Life gives these and also takes them away and the great difficulty is to say Yes to life.” Giovanni’s Room, James Baldwin. (via mattbirnbaum)

Just finished reading this a few hours ago. Top-notch book, I highly recommend it, if you can stomach it. The amount of research that went into it is just stunning. Hats off, Alan Moore.

In addition to being a lovely picture of a handsome man reading, this is a screenshot from On the Road. This film was actually an excellent adaptation of Kerouac’s work. I highly recommend it.
