I emerged from the practice rooms about ten minutes ago and I just now remembered that I had a blog to post! As my life has been consumed with memorization of piano pieces, voice pieces, a scene from "the last night of ballyhoo", the honors drama and writing a research paper, I haven't had time to read Hopkins. I've been scouring Dostoevsky and Descartes for tidbits of wonderful information, though. Something that I've found really interesting (and actually decided to base my paper around..) is a quote from one of my sources for my paper. The source is an article by Kerry McSweeney exploring the dreams of a few great literary works (Crime and Punishment, Wuthering Hights, War and Peace). The main quote I'm using from her article is this.
"What madmen represent to themselves while awake is also represented in the dreams of the sane while they are asleep."
As I have more paper yet to write, I'm just going to leave this quote suspended in cyberspace.
So what did we learn this week? Nothing? Good. That's exactly what I thought.
Until Next Time,
Benjamin
P.S. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
P.P.S. I commented on Blahrgoty1131's blog "Uplifted"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who nearly forgot... I do like your quote even though you kind of just put it out there. :) I hope all goes well with all that stuff you have going on.
