Thomas Moore (1779-1852) Irish poet, friend of Lord Byron and P.B. Shelley. Moore\'s writings range from lyric to satire, from prose romance to history and biography. His popular IRISH MELODIES appeared in ten parts between 1807 and 1835. Moore was a good musician and skillful writer of songs, which he set to Irish tunes, mainly of the 18th century. \'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone. (from \'The Last Rose of Summer\') } Thomas Moore was born in Dublin as the son of a grocer. His background was poor and he never varnished it. In his poem \'Epitaph on a Tuft-Hunter\' he mocked snobbery: \"Heaven grant him now some noble nook / For, rest his soul! he\'d rather be / Genteelly damn\'d beside a Duke, / Than sav\'d in vulgar company.\" Moore studied at Trinity College, Dublin and London, and published his first book, THE POETICAL WORKS OF THOMAS LITTLE, in 1801. He became in 1803 a civil officer to Bermuda, where he stayed for a...

DBDan Brown
Dan Brown (n. 22 iunie 1964 în Exeter, New Hampshire) este un autor american de thrillere detective de senzație, după ce a avut diverse ocupații (compozitor de cântece și profesor de limbă engleză), sau mai precis de simbolologie). Brown este interesat de criptografie, chei și coduri, care sunt o temă recurentă în poveștile sale. Până în prezent, cărțile sale au fost traduse în mai mult de 40 de limbi. În 1996, Brown a renunțat la catedră pentru a deveni scriitor cu normă întreagă. Fortăreața Digitală a fost publicată în 1998. Blythe s-a ocupat mult de promovarea cărții, a scris declarații pentru presă, i-a stabilit întâlniri pentru talk-show-uri și a aranjat întâlniri cu presa. Câteva luni mai târziu, Brown și soția sa au publicat „Cartea Cheală” (The Bald Book), o altă carte de umor. A fost oficial recunoscută ca fiind a soției sale, deși un reprezentant al editorului a spus că această carte a fost scrisă în primul rând de Brown. Primele trei romane ale lui Brown au avut puțin...

GMGustav Meyrink
Gustav Meyrink (19 ianuarie 1868, Viena, Austria – 4 decembrie 1932, Starnberg, Bavaria) este un clasic al literaturii austriece și universale, intens preocupat de științele oculte și de parapsihologie. Este fiul nelegitim al unui baron și al unei actrițe de la curtea Bavariei. Până la vârsta de treisprezece ani a trăit la Munchen, unde a urmat școala primară, apoi la Hamburg o scurtă perioadă de timp și douăzeci de ani la Praga, unde a ajuns împreună cu mama sa în 1883 și unde, nouă ani mai târziu, a trăit un eveniment cu rol providențial în viața lui: la douăzeci și patru de ani, când se pregătea să-și pună capăt zilelor, a auzit pe cineva strecurându-i pe sub ușă o broșură cu titlul "Viața după moarte". Șocat de această coincidență dramatică, a început să fie interesat de literatura ocultă și să studieze teosofia, cabala, sofiologia creștină și misticismul oriental. Rezultatele acestor studii apar în toate operele sale. A fost de asemenea membru al Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn...

"Well, I've been a disclaimer for twenty-four years Poor mother drowned in a pillow of tears Im well known in story, famous in song The black sheep, the blemish, the one who went wrong The black sheep, the blemish, the one who went wrong My crime is discomfort, my mind ill at ease Old crow on my shoulder, my favorite disease My siblings, my rivals might tend to my wake Grieve me not brothers, I was mother's mistake Grieve me not brothers, I was mother's mistake And all the grand expectations of an epic of wealth Leave me long to crawl back to the womb Well, I've tasted your grace, placed it back on the shelf Drag your pedigree wives to your tomb Drag your pedigree wives to your tomb Well, I came from this city, a victim of peace But I've grown far too filthy to attend to the feast So I'll take to the hills to live savage and free I don't need nobody, nobody needs me I don't need nobody, nobody needs me" http://www.obliothedagger.blogspot.com/

'Somebody at one of these places ... asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You don't try. That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks you make a pet out of it.' - Charles Bukowski

Pretending We went to Dan Lynch's, & listened to White musicians pretending that they were Black. And the people next to us jumped up & down, pretending that they were rock stars. And I put my hand on your knee, pretending that I was your lover. You remained aloof. Why did you have to be the only one who insisted on being yourself?
