Things I'm forced to read for Danish

[ink_splotch]

I am currently nursing the belief that all poets from the Romantic period (approx. 1800-1870) have been recreated as the people we mock on deleterius and fandom_wank.

Jesus Christ, what is WRONG with them? It's all Woe is me, she does not love me which moves on to Woe! She wants me, but we can't get married and then becomes Oh woe, we're married but she doesn't understand my PAIN! *cuts* *visits whores* .

And I'm not even going to touch their whole Platonic Ideal Relationship i.e. no seks for teh wimmen! theories. They're a bunch of thirteen year olds, sitting in their rooms with too much eyeliner, listening to Evanescence and Linkin Park and complaining about how NO ONE UNDERSTANDS and how they're close with the divine in this world and thus are CONFLICTED. BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DEEP, DAMMIT.

Oh *shut up*.

Oh, you giggle, but you've never been subjected European writers, particularly poets, in this age. *headdesk*

Honey, my senior English class was all British lit. I've seen some of it.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. And don't think it's just European ones. Americans do it to.

I stand corrected! Sorry about being so assumptuous

Nah, it's okay.

Usually, Americans have inferior education. THat's just a fact. ;)
