Transgendered Self

A Sensation of FearNever before has someone that I was close to had their life in danger, at least definitely not that I knew at the time.  One of my good friends was hit by a car, she suffered serious head trauma and a badly broken leg.  And for the first time in my life, I feel like I'm in a situation where I have absolutely no power to make things better.   
Normally, I am a fairly competent person.  I work hard, and I'm good at a lot of things.  And when I haven't succeeded, it hasn't been because I had no power in the situation, but because I didn't do my job well enough.  And it is terrifying to A Sensation of Fear

Dear PoundDear Ezra Pound,   
You are full of shit.  Just because you do not like a writer of poetry or prose, you can not simply discard them.  That is in fact the only reason that I am reading you.  Ovid will still be read when your writing is mostly dust, so will Shakespeare, Chaucer, Homer, Dante, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley, Byron, Pope, Dunne, and the list goes on.   
You praise the efficiency and efficacy of language, but in your poetry you use too few words, and in your prose, too many.  I believe that you should carefully read the works that you comment on before attempting Dear Pound

MelancholyThis summer, I learned that I should never live alone.  It took me by surprise a little bit.  I've never really liked being around a lot of people, but being holed up in a small apartment, I got lonely.  It wasn't something that I was used to, but looking back all the signs were there.   
I drowned myself in books when I was younger.  I was an only child, often relatively alone in my house.  I craved being at school, even though I didn't get along with most of my classmates.  I was never lonely there, even if it wasn't always pleasant.   
I always populated my int Melancholy

As in from Spencer's "The Faerie Queen" as referenced in A. E. Housman's "Her dark enchantments failing". I'm a poetry geek.

Mab is the faerie queen of the winter court in a series I read by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files). That might be where he got the name.

Ah, I have read Butcher's books. They are very good. Mab is one of the names that is traditionally ascribed to the queen of the sidhe, as is Maeve, which is where Butcher almost certainly got the names.

His books are very well researched, and I enjoy them a great deal, but my screen name is the result of an obsession with poetry that only befits and english major.

"The Queen of Air and Darkness" shows up a lot in literature, starting even before Spencer, though I believe that he was the one to coin the phrase. Spencer and Housman are just two of my favorites to use her.
