Who do you write like?

I can relate to Muir’s love for nature & adventures in nature for sure

Not so much D.H. Lawrence :woman_shrugging:

I’m glad to get a teensy bit positive for Lewis Carroll though :joy:

Moderneity, social alienation, industrialization?

Industrialization and Love of Conservation together confuses me a hair. Lmao

But this part sounds more like @Churro

In general, though, Lawrence disliked any organized groupings, and in his essay Democracy, written in the late twenties, he argued for a new kind of democracy in which

each man shall be spontaneously himself – each man himself, each woman herself, without any question of equality or inequality entering in at all; and that no man shall try to determine the being of any other man, or of any other woman.[49]

None are themes that are present in this story, which is what confuses me :joy:

Lmao he does have a cadence to his poetry:

O the stale old dogs who pretend to guard
the morals of the masses,
how smelly they make the great back-yard
wetting after everyone that passes.
(From “The Young and Their Moral Guardians”)

In the deep, strange-scented shade of the great dark carob tree
I came down the steps with my pitcher
And must wait, must stand and wait, for there he was at the trough before me.
(From “Snake”)

I put these lyrics in from Orden Ogan’s song “Nobody Leaves”

They roar
Without voice
Stalking like cats
And read out
Their note
That leaves 'em
No choice
Between fire
And rope
They run
Like the rats
But nobody leaves
Easton Hope


Considering what sort of poetry Crane wrote, it seems fitting.
