Don't speak dutch so the humor is lost on me.

Fun fact, pic in the OP is by Thomas Cole who is regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School. The HRS produced lots of stunning paintings of exploration, nature, and colonization and spawned a tradition in painting almost parallel (excluding the non-critical theme of colonization) to American nature writing. Similar time period, and likely some correspondence between the communities.

Not to mention Milton, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson, Browning and Coleridge, among countless other creative geniuses, writing scores of some of the most beautiful work ever produced in the English Language all in blank verse, i.e. iambic pentameter.

How did you fall in love with Literature? When was the first time you glimpsed the magic, like Stoner hearing Shakespeare's sonnet?

What are the best books about lust, especially lust that leads to ruin?

Can Ezra Pound be fitted into Imagism or is he better categorized as a later modern figure?

I think I have replied to everything I missed last night.

So a couple things,

- Planning is going well, but the document is so large that certain parts are being neglected. Despite this, almost every single entry field has at least something in it, which is great. As the project progresses, I will probably start screenshotting certain that are in more need of input than others and post them in the thread to generate discussion or just direct peoples attention to them. This should speed up aspects of the planning process significantly.

- In terms of writing, the Stirner section is looking like it will be the first to be ready. There was already an anon who seemed keen to write this section (the same anon who contributed huge amounts to the plan) so he will have first dibs. If Stirner-anon gets back to me, I will set up a google doc specifically for the Stirner section, where we can vote on the name ideas etc, and Stirner-anon can start putting his work up. As he starts putting his writing up, I will most likely make the doc comment only, so anons can suggest edits and other constructive feedback in real time, without messing with Stirner-anon's creative flow.

- I had an idea for some added context for the appendix. We could have a god present during the judgemnt/trial who records everything that is said. It could be mentioned in the text that Anon's answers are so long-winded and rambling at times that sections of his dialogue have been skipped over, but were kept on record and have been included for the reader in the appendix. Just an idea, let me know what you think.
