I loved the Louise Glück quotes (The longer I withheld conclusion, the more I saw!!! Incredible...) And though the orchestral arrangement is lovely, I prefer the piano version. It feels like the voice of the piano is clearer and thus, so is the song it’s singing (if that makes sense 😅.) I enjoyed The Rungs poem so much that I read it twice; I Love when so much is said with so few words ♥️.
Thank you!
P.S. I did not like Fahrenheit 451 in high school...
There’s something to that quote, isn’t there? And thanks for the feedback on the music and book. The more time I’ve given it, the more I want to just focus on the piano. Or simplify the orchestral backing in some way.
This is the first time I've stumbled across your SubStack - and I am so glad I did.
"I feel literature is at its finest when it acts like photography or painting. Using words, the best literature captures and paints the human heart and experience." I LOVED this reflection, though I do a believe duality in literature is possible; the best literature can capture reflections on morality and society without coming across as the primary motive. It's a fine line I think. In saying this, I have a feeling this will be on my mind for the next little while.
I’m glad you found it as well and decided to comment. I think you’re right about the balance. I enjoy when literature makes me think about society and morality, I just don’t like it to be done with a heavy hand. And maybe there’s something to say about literature as art versus literature as communication (where my recent posts have centered on my preferences regarding literature as an art form rather than strictly a means of communication).
