Since Mr. J.J. Gittes post on literary heroes on Fire Walk With, inspired as I am I shall write a few heroes which may not be so well received or acknowledged.
Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov (Crime and Punishment). Narcissism at its best. I see myself and others in this one, which given the protognist actions does not sound sound. However, I'm sure everyone with a brain cell or two will emphasise with nietzsche's ubermensch at some point and the thoughts of Rodion will flash repeteadly in ones mind until forgotten about for the simpletons conventionality.
"Why am I to be pitied, you say? Yes! There's nothing to pity me for! I ought to be crucified, crucified on a cross, not pitied! Crucify me, oh judge, crucify me but pity me?"
Lord Henry Wotton (A Picture of Dorian Gray). Cyncalism is realism you say? Every word from this man's lips I have noded in total agreeance with as if I were the one to be seduced by the charming sophist. Contrived indeed. Utterly sure, why of course. Prior to reading this master...I had concieved such realism and devouring the word of Lord Wotton I began to not only conjecture but epiphanise.
"My dear boy, no woman is a genius. Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly. Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals."
Leopold Bloom (Ulysses), oh you shall know.
"He…saw the dark tangled curls of his bus floating, floating hair of the stream around the limp father of thousands, a languid floating flower."
Konstantin Gavrilovich Treplyov (The Seagull), his actions are my thoughts.
"I'm the seagull. No, that's not it. I'm an actress. That's it."

Gosford Books
To those who ever chance to humbly cross the borders into Coventry, the gem of all of it lies in Gosford Street, the book shop with the charming man who may possibly may have read the majority of those magnificent books which become corse and dusty yet ever the more characteristic. Charming wise man with his charming wise books.

The intention of this blog is not to ramble crap of daily musings that nobody even cares about but for me myself and those close to me to develop artistically, musically, philosophically, emotionally through beautiful beautiful literature that not enough should appreciate, deep deep film which gives you the enlightenment euphoria after a viewing and from which every time you watch over and over again something is gained and realised, an epiphany from the same images the same words but with a completely different meaning altogether. Music which creates shapes and colours which are even more in deph of detail than any image viddy'd (burgesstalk) through the eye. Translates, transcends beautyfying.
