lol. youngwerther, you're living in the past. poets don't become world famous anymore, they become famous to certain cliques and social circles now and fifty years from now kids will talk shit about you while reading your work, and that's the best you can hope for even if you are good. you won't be rich, you won't be famous, and you probably won't be well loved. cold intellectuals will admire your work, and you can die satisfied academically but wanting more. look to satisfy yourself on the inside, don't depend on others. others are unreliable. O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you ... we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands. - Sun Tzu, The Art of War Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav'n. - Satan, Paradise Lost Rules to live by, rules to die by, rules to go to heaven or hell by. |
