And I do nothing but dream every day that at last I shall meet some one. Oh, if only you knew how often I have been in love in that way.

“You were as deep down as I’ve ever been. You were inside me like my pulse.”

Marilyn Hacker, “Nearly a Valediction”

"I felt pantheistic then— your heart beat in my ribs and mine in yours, and both in God’s."

Herman Melville, in a letter to Nathaniel Hawthorne

"Listen, / how your heart pounds inside me."

Wislawa Szymborska, “Could Have”

Everything Tumblr has told you about Moby-Dick is absolute bullshit, and everything that Tumblr has told you about Moby-Dick is 100% true. It’s a travelogue fantasy. It’s proto-science fiction. It’s cosmic horror. It’s shockingly original and it’s shamelessly plagiaristic. It’s a misotheistic Christian parable in which the whale is the mask of a cruel, uncaring God and Ahab is Satan himself, not as trickster or as tempter, but as doomed hero. It’s the most gripping thing you’ll ever read. It’s boring as shit. But above all else – and I cannot emphasise this enough – it is filled with Facts About Whales.

Black Country, New Road's "Ants from up there" was an instant forever favorite. It went straight through to my soul, it is a masterpiece. I only feel the same way about "Transatlanticism" and "Concorde" is a close second. Thank god I one day searched "good will hunting" on spotify, looking for movie playlists.

Haldern - fuck me, is it incredible. The place where he inserted the blade? - jesus fucking christ
