Given that the current theme of the class is the twenty minute lifetime, was reminded of a story I read way back in high school. Although the professor mentioned this in class earlier it had already been brewing in my mind. What takes literally an instant, the rope to get tight, the man experiences days and days of traveling home. Although he did not live a life in that moment I think the same demons are at play here. Having great experiences in an instant. While I'm blogging I might as well blog about the emergence of high brow lit at my place with my roommates. I felt so moved by the line I found in Little Gidding that I had to put it on the white board on the fridge. It being a high traffic area, I hinted that someone should read it. After on of my mates stared at the white board for a minute, he gave me a puzzled look. "Well, I can tell its deep, but I just don't get it, I'll have to read it over again." "And again", I said. And that's the point of high brow, is it not.
