Hamletmaschine: Your Opinion of Ben Jonson please!

VII: Song: That Women Are But Men's Shadows

Follow a shadow, it still flies to you;
Seem to fly it, it will pursue;
So court a mistress, she denies you;
Let her alone, she will court you.
Say, are not women truly, then,
Styled but the shadows of us men?
At morn, and even, shades are longest;
At noon, they are short or none;
So men at weakest, they are strongest,
But grant us perfect, they're not known.
Say, are not women truly, then,
Styled but the shadows of us men?

Ben Johnson was an asshole. Though he did lend his initials to one of my favorite things in this world.

Remember his shoulder muscle at the Olympics in 1988? Damn that man must have shot up more than William Burroughs.

 

[Hamletmaschine]

I think most scholars agree: those are Ben's.

But his writing went to shit after that, unlike Burroughs'.

 

[seXieleXie]

whoops.

 

[riff]

Yes. Rennaisance Poetry and Poetics. I forgot the course number. We dissected the sonnets.

The expense of spirit in a waist of shame...... Sonnet 23, I think.

Fuck Dr. Brian Striar. He can kiss my rebellious ass.

Give the man a break, he is Canadian. Its like if Pele was born with a club foot.

He's accomplished much more than just runnin' and writin', he was a hell of an actor.
