IF I WAS UNBORN
I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR

This was intended as a shitpost but in writing it out it strikes me that the lyrics of that song present a totally opposite view to Ligotti's. Him and David Tibet are such close friends and seeming ideological allies, maybe there's a trace of irony in Conspiracy Against the Human Race.

I'm ashamed

what drives us on?
what drives us on?

i left something of myself in you
fourscore, twenty, thirty
in your body and in your flesh
in your vault of skin
i was nothing for you
but the shadow of another love
that one day for you
would shift the skies
to pastures blue
streaked with passing and loss
tortoise green in my eyes
from the moss of my past
you arise
and lightly then i saw you smile
with ivory throat and ivory eyes
at night i catch you before i sleep
and if i died before i wake
i prayed that you my heart might keep
i cannot hold your tunnelled eyes
near my heart any longer
all this love is nothing truly:
mist of moons' breath
grit of evening
the grass was green (i now recall)
before my own particular fall
i saw we were both really
masks on nothing
(the moonlight sweeping over northern beaches)
all the trees stand stripped
just silhouttes of memories
at night i have started to dream of you:
your eyes are wide
and shot through with seablue

Is there anywhere on the internet that archives scholarly articles and essays written about literature? I've had a look around and all I can find is student-written stuff, when I want to read writing from professional, renowned critics. I know that critical analysis exists as a part of identifying meaning in and exalting parts of the canon, I'm just having trouble finding it on the internet.

Has David the Tibet actually ever had any books published?

ITT: Lyricists whose lyrics have serious literary context.

I know David Tibet is easymode but oh well.
