funny reading somewhat erotic poetry "The Imperfect Enjoyment" from 18th century literature hahaThere should be no denying the man's talent, but the man was pure filth. In a sense, this is glorious stuff. There is beauty here, of some kind ... and it is very depraved.
I can't understand why more people don't adore this.Rochester was beautiful damaged womanising drunkard, in an era where this was a lifestyle choice. Yet he wrote such honest emotional poetry and some of the most brutally critical poetry I've ever read.Strange to have a literary crush on a guy who died at 33, of the clap, but there you go.He foresaw his own end:So when my days of impotence approach,And I'm by pox and wine's unlucky chance,Driven from the pleasing billows of debauch,On the dull
Obscene, John. Scandalous. I liked it.
Ah, Rochester. You'll earn me my Ph.D. one day.It's hard to justify how I, a relatively straight-laced kid with vanilla tastes, fell upon Earl Rochester (cough) as My author. But it happened, and I shall be forever glad to the professor who turned me on to him. And the innuendo cough again.
Warning! This is a warning, in which I am warning you: do not read this review if you are faint of heart, easily offended, squeamish, proper, lady-like, gentlemanly, offended by curse-words, offended by the casual mentioning of sex, offended by colorful language being used to describe sex, have no sense of humor (redundant), are voraciously religious (redundant), or are just generally stuffy and Nurse Ratched-like. In fact, you should not only avoid this review, you should perhaps club yourself
