Happy 200th B-Day…
… Søren Kierkegaard!
Who wrote in his Diary of a Seducer: “I am an aesthete, an eroticist, who has grasped the nature and the point of love, who believes in love and knows it from the ground up, and I reserve for myself only the private opinion that no love affair should last more that a half a year at most and that any relationship is over as soon as one has enjoyed the ultimate.”
Whom I read voraciously at age 15 & stopped reading at age 16.

“What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music.”
