hm. i know there is a connection between book history and linguistics and i'm Sure other people have written about this but i just haven't cracked it yet or like found that one book or article that can unlock it. mostly it's me pulling at two strings sticking out of a huge ball of knotted yarn and hoping they are connected to each other and like having vague Feelings, which is not useful at all

have Many thoughts after my first day of the conference but mostly once again coming face to face with the fact that i do not have the personality to succeed in an academic field unless i produce some like genius work (lo fucking l!). like you can do basically anything if you have people skills but otherwise it's like you have to be a complete visionary groundbreaker to go anywhere and i am not that lol

In Dream

by Ann Akhmatova tr. Donald Michael Thomas

Black and enduring separation I share equally with you. Why weep? Give me your hand, Promise me you will come again. You and I are like high Mountains and we can’t move closer. Just send me word At midnight sometime through the stars.
