The fate of the poet

Deshaun 2022-12-25 06:53:32

Poets are not narrowly written poets.
They are people who risk the destruction of worldly life and experience peak (ecstasy) experiences, just like "soloists."

Soloist (poet):
You can be his friend, but you can't hold the throat of his own destiny for him.
Modernity destroys genius.
Urban hermits capture accidents in the deterministic city.
He loves everything, he loves everyone, and is afraid of the apartment; he has great love and becomes the love of God.
Talent is an obstacle to worldly life.
Mediocrity has become a quality in modern society.
Who is crazy, the ethical dilemma of mental illness.
The return of religion: In addition to focusing on fate (Beethoven), we must return to religion (Bach).
Stupid man, his poems with witty words are deaf to your ears! (Every time I see Lopez, Ayers has poems that seem to be chattering but full of meaning.)

When ignorance becomes my quality again, I write these banal words on sleepless nights. Such insomnia is not what Pessoa said. So great. The worldly life has become a few hours to fall asleep. During these hours, at least I don’t know what I’m doing, and it’s better than not knowing the so-called in clarity. We play our dreams solo every night, the performer, the listener, and who is asleep, who is awake, who is normal, and who is crazy.
"The Soloist" is about how unknowable other people really are"

The Soloist quotes

  • Graham Claydon: Nothing pains God more than when we squander his blessings. You owe it to Him to care for this...

    Nathaniel Ayers: I don't owe God. Mr. Steve Lopez is my god.

    Steve Lopez: What?

    Nathaniel Ayers: Star Writer for Los Angeles. Higher power flying around with wings like an angel.

  • Steve Lopez: I don't want him to love me.

    David Carter: Well it looks like you might have to get over that.

    Steve Lopez: It's a bad idea. "I love you Steve," turns into, "You failed me, Steve," turns into very bad things. That's my limited experience. I don't want to be on the other side of that with him. Would you? He doesn't know if I'm a ballerina, if I'm God, if I'm an airline pilot. He has no idea what he's saying.
