While unpacking, I found some short stories Kenny wrote when he was in grade school - I NEVER KNEW! I tried scanning but it wouldn't show because they are in pencil, so I will transcribe them as soon as I get a chance :) <3

Gwendolyn B. Bennett: Sonnet II
sinfest evil schoolgirl
[info]priscamor
Some things are very dear to me-
Such things as flowers bathed by rain
Or patterns traced upon the sea
Or crocuses where snow has lain...
The iridescence of a gem,
The moon's cool opalescent light,
Azaleas and the scent of them,
And honeysuckles in the night.
And many sounds are also dear-
Like winds that sing among the trees
Or crickets calling from the weir
Or Negroes humming melodies.
But dearer far than all surmise
Are sudden tear-drops in your eyes.

Pablo Neruda: XVII
Starry night - Van Gogh
[info]priscamor
NO TE AMO como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio
o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego:
te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras,
secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma.

Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva
dentro de sí, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores,
y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo
el apretado aroma que acendió de la tierra.

Te amo sin saber cómo, ni cuándo, ni de dónde,
te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo:
así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera,

sino así de este modo en que no soy ni eres,
tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es mía,
tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi sueño.

William Wordsworth: 1770-1850: She Dwelt Among The Untrodden Ways
people are gonna think im so deep
[info]priscamor
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove,

A Maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love:


A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!

Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.


She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;

But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!

Shakespeare: CXXVI
bookgasm
[info]priscamor
O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power
Dost hold Time's fickle glass, his sickle, hour;
Who hast by waning grown, and therein show'st
The lovers withering as thy sweet self grow'st;
If Nature, sovereign mistress over wrack,
As thou goest onwards, still will pluck thee back,
She keeps thee to this purpose, that her skill
May time disgrace and wretched minutes kill.
Yet fear her, O thou minion of her pleasure!
She may detain, but not still keep, her treasure;
Her audit, though delay'd, answer'd must be,
And her quietus is to render thee.

morals
Countess Carmilla (blue)
[info]priscamor
"Moral virtue is a mean between two vices, one of excess and the other of deficiency, and it aims at hitting the mean in feelings, desires, and action. - Aristotle

Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Franklin, and Solomon have slightly different views of what guides a moral or virtuous person. This suggests that to some extent what counts as a moral virtue depends on one's personal beliefs. However, most scholars believe that there is a great deal of agreement on the question of who is acting as the virtuous person, as summed up by business ethicist Manuel Velasquez: "An action is morally right if in carrying out the action the agent exercises, exhibits, or develops a morally virtuous character, [as opposed to] develops a morally vicious character." When placing virtue ethics in a business context, ethicist Robert Solomon explains, "The bottom line of the Aristotelian approach to business ethics is that we have to get away from "bottom line" thinking and receive of business as an essential part of the good life, living well, getting along with others, having a sense of self-respect, and being a part of something one can be proud of."

How to identify future leaders
2 faces eyes lightning
[info]priscamor
If you are looking for leaders, how can you identify
people who are motivated by the drive to
achieve rather than the external rewards? The first
sign is a passion for the work itself-such people
seek out creative challenges, love to learn, and
take great pride in a job well done. They also display
an unflagging energy to do things better. People
with such energy often seem restless with the
status quo. They are persistent with their questions
about why things are done one way rather
than another; they are eager to explore new approaches
to their work.

A Leader
all we see
[info]priscamor

"At the age of seven, a young boy and his family were forced out of their home. The boy had to work to support his family. At the age of nine, his mother passed away. When he grew up, the young man was keen to go to law school, but had no education.

At 22, he lost his job as a store clerk. At 23, he ran for state legislature and lost. The same year, he went into business. It failed, leaving him with a debt that took him 17 years to repay. At 27, he had a nervous breakdown.

Two years later, he tried for the post of speaker in his state legislature. He lost. At 31, he was defeated in his attempt to become an elector. By 35, he had been defeated twice while running for Congress. Finally, he did manage to secure a brief term in Congress, but at 39 he lost his re-election bid.

At 41, his four-year-old son died. At 42, he was rejected as a prospective land officer. At 45, he ran for the Senate and lost. Two years later, he lost the vice presidential nomination. At 49, he ran for Senate and lost again.

At 51, he was elected the President of the United States of America.

The man in question: Abraham Lincoln."

Gaiman - American Gods
sinfest evil schoolgirl
[info]priscamor
American Gods American Gods by Neil Gaiman


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Highly Recommended!

Not only is this a Neil Gaiman novel, but it involved mythological beings therefore I was eager to read it, but afraid to be disappointed. However, Neil Gaiman surpassed my expectations by not succumbing to his normal style of writing, and immersing into a narrative about the main character without betraying his private personality. He also doesn't waste time explaining who any of the supernatural characters are and it is not to be missed; you either know them or you don't. Neil Gaiman takes us on a road trip through midwest America and humanizes these gods, unraveling a story within stories which captures your interest as you delve more into the book. I don't want to spoil the fun of discovering the characters and the plots, so all I will say is, read it! It is worth it!
