that's a fear that makes sense though

sidenote: I saw your profile and I memorized "The Bells" too! I memorize poetry that I really enjoy when I have the time (I know a bunch of Russian Poetry, Edgar Allan Poe,I even knew "The Raven" at some point)

But this year my english teacher was willing to give extra credit to anyone who could memorize the bells- she gave us 3 schooldays to do it in. I was the only one who was able to recite it word for word.

oh that was fun

so that was 2-3 months ago, but I still have it in my head. I find myself just reciting it to myself when I'm in a class where I have to at least pretend to pay attention.

anyway, what's your interpretation of "The Bells"?


The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated.
