Once there came a man Who said: “Range me all men of the world in rows.” And instantly There was a terrific clamor among the people Against being ranged in rows. There was a loud quarrel, world-wide. It endured for ages; And blood was shed By those who would not stand in rows, And by those who pined to stand in rows. Eventually, the man went to death, weeping. And those who stayed in the bloody scuffle Knew not the great simplicity.

A poem from Stephen Crane's 1899 book "War is Kind." It reads: "The successful man has thrust himself / Through the water of the years, / Reeking we with mistakes,— / Bloody mistakes; / Slimed with victories over the lesser, / A figure thankful on the shore of money. / Then, with the bones of fools / He buys silken banners / Limned with his triumphant face; / With the skins of wise men / He buys the trivial bows of all. / Flesh painted with marrow / Contributes a coverlet, / A coverlet for his contented slumber. / In guiltless ignorance, in ignorant guilt, / He delivered his secrets to the riven multitude. / 'Thus I defnded: Thus I wrought.' / Complacent, smiling, / He stands heavily on the dead. / Erect on a pillar of skulls / He declaims his trampling of babes; / Smirking, fat, dripping, / He makes speech in guiltless ignorance, / Innocence."
From "War is Kind" by Stephen Crane, published in 1899 by Frederick A. Stokes Company.
A hauntingly prophetic poem that belongs on a plaque beneath the White House portrait of Donald Trump.

Expressionistische Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnung: Ein hageres, nacktes Wesen hockt in einer zerklüfteten Wüstenlandschaft und beißt in ein anatomisches Herz, das es in den Händen hält. Im Hintergrund beobachtet eine dunkle, monolithische Gestalt die Szene.

Tonight at 8pm ET, we will be finishing up "The Red Badge of Courage"
I'm starting to think there's something about "Henry"s that is innately frustrating.
Henry David Thoreau should not be a goal.

Tonight at 8pm ET, we continue reading "The Red Badge of Courage"
So far, Henry has been a remarkable study in self-awareness, coupled with crippling self-doubt.
Honestly? Relatable.

“When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples.” - #StephenCrane (b: 1 November 1871)

Auster gastó sus últimas fuerzas en contar la vida de un escritor que murió a los 28 años.
La llama inmortal de Stephen Crane es más que biografía: es diálogo, espejo y despedida.

Burning Boy by Paul Auster is a gloriously obsessive bio of Stephen Crane. 🔥 Auster writes with the love of a Victorian-era fanboy, covering everything from Crane's genius to his terrible life choices.
