Soren Kierkegaard rejected his muse. I believe it was his only love too. He was still in love with her when he rejected her. He felt his melancholy made him unsuitable for a relationship. That rejection must be up there as well. Enjoyed the video. You review unique books. Cheers!
This seems like something really great was made from being rejected. I am curious about great art that is made after a rejection because in my own experience one time I rejected a musician who wrote a song about how he could not "trick" me. I can't figure out if it is artistically a great song. All I know is that I was very disturbed by it. I think the song only validates my rejection. I think it's probably problematic. This was a long time ago but I have always wondered if the dude had actually made something really great or at least not so problematic like what would that have been like? But also maybe is it okay to just be weirdly proud that my scorning of a man created a stupid misogynistic song? I digress. I think I want to read this book. I enjoy your enthusiasm in this video!
Thanks for watching! That's a really great point, about how much the raw impact of a work (whether positive or negative) will, over time, contribute to its seemed objective quality. My heart goes out to you for having to go through that terrible experience, and I hope that things have gotten better since!
@readreadofficial thank you kindly. I was 23 when this happened and I'm old now at 41. It is a funny thing to remember. But that's not really true. It was traumatic. He quit being a musician 10 years ago but I think it would disturb me if he ever has a "come back" to music at some point and starts hollering that song and if people love the song then I probably would not feel good . I would have to write a poem explaining why a blues musician who has a Chuck Berry tattoo on his arm is a giant walking red flag.
Thanks for taking time out of your life to make these amazing videos for us. 👍
And thank you for watching 😁

The first guy is probably de Sade.
