Holy fuck, which Dosto is this quote from?

I was on team peep, but I actually hate peeps

Anyone got the book Erotic Coleridge by Anya Taylor in an ebook format and would be willing to share it ? Thanks in advance.

I'm practically not reading anymore and my attention span is really going to hell, could you guys lend me a hand? the last book I read quickly, with pleasure and through the end was the disaster artist: I definitely need something appealing and not too complex that'll make me go back to my old reading habits and help me recover a decent attention span: books that accomplished that for me in the past during similar moments were, for example, norwegian wood, bukowski's pulp, the catcher in the rye, the tartar steppe, dracula, no beast so fierce, I am legend, what we talk about when we talk about love and dog eat dog, would you be so kind to suggest me some readings and save me from this wordless pit?

just write a masterpiece anon. you're the voice of a genreation lmao

Did /lit/ ever break up with a gf because she could not appreciate literature? Not liking something because it is 'too dark' or 'depressing' is the mark of an infantile mind, and definite proof there is no future together.

>t. dumped gf because she didn't understand The Idiot

I gave this love poem to the girl in my group. I told her I liked her at the beginning of the semester, but she told me she isn't looking to date in college. We hung out several times and my one-sided love never bothered her. I bought her a gift at the end of the semester since I won't see her over Christmas, and attached to the poem. She hasn't texted me since. Is it bad?

>Venus, throw wide the gates of mine heart
>Steady me as I sing of unrequited love
>And of mortal beauty unparalleled

>Imagine a cloudless night on a plain or a hilltop
>When the vault of heaven is unadulterated and sable
>But for the multitude of stars that break the vast expanse
>The fire thereof is such as her eyes contain
>Though their colour be of the sea, or of noble sapphire

>Unkempt hair, yea, but so comely
>How divine, how exquisite must it be
>When tressed in all its golden splendor?
>Her skin, what may I liken it to but virgin snow
>As that on capped Olympos?
>Olympos, reaching heavenward, unpolluted by earthly mire

>Need I sing of her dress, so reserved?
>Her mannerisms, so womanly, so bashful?
>Naught but the sight of her lifts my spirit
>Her laughter is my light in the darkness

>She is as described hitherto
>Yet remains as chaste as aegis-bearing Pallas
>Or forest-roaming Diana in her rustic beauty

>What of her oddities, you may say
>Her blemishes unsung, yet conspicuous?
>To this I say, what is a mortal
>But imperfection, if thou wishest to see it?
>Nevertheless, as I see her soul
>In mine eyes she is flawless
