Club's LogoI am perplexed though. People wants? as in needs? Desires? Shortcomings? If it was meant as a verb it should read: want (as in: "the people of the club want"). "...individuals who transcend their works into masterpieces." What is meant here? Transmute? To transcend means to outdo, to excel, to rise above, to go beyond etc. I'd be glad for your answer, Rilke. My name is Dan and for the last five years I've been living in Israel. I let music engulf me so that I can become one with the inner rhythm of the world around me. I write and lecture about philosophy, literature and economy. |

Thanks Rilkeof his poems. The insights are on the stove, I beg for a rain check. I'd post one my Rilke's Favorites: Autumn The leaves are falling, dropping from way up high, as if orchards were dying in out yonder nigh. Each leaf falls as if motioning "no." And tonight the heavy earth is falling away from all other stars withering We all are falling. This hand here is waisting. And look at the other one. It's in them all. And yet there is Someone, whose hands infinitely calm, holds up all this falling |

HiAnyway, I started playing chess this past summer and I appreciate the game and see it in an artistic, poetic light. I have met a bunch of awesome people on this site and I joined this group to meet some more (: So, thank you for having me! !J |

Hello boys and girls.The lazy mist. The lazy mist hangs from the brow of the hill, Concealing the course of the dark winding rill; How languid the scenes,late so sprightly,appear, As autumn to winter resigns the pale year! The forests are leafless,the meadows are brown. And all the gay foppery of summer is flown: Apart let me wonder,apart let me muse, How quick time is flying,how keen fate pursues; How long I have lived,but how much lived in vain; How little of life's scanty span may remain: What aspects old Time,in his progress,has worn; What ties cruel fate in my bosom has torn. How foolish or worse till our summit is gained! And downward,how weaken'd,how darken'd,how pain'd! This life's not worth having with all it can give; For something beyond it poor man sure must live. |

HelloThanks for the welcome. Some of my literary interests include all kinds of poetry from every and any culture, classic sci-fi, as well as "classic classics" as I like to call them. Actually, I'll pretty much pick up any book and start reading but if it doesn't go any where or is too predictable i get bored as my name indicates. I also love music and art as well (though to a lesser extent). Currently reading the Foreigner series by C.J. Cherryh... Looking forward to chatting with you all... Ezra |
