Well, I just found out that J.D. Salinger passed away yesterday. A mere weeks after finishing The Catcher in the Rye, and now I find out that he's gone. Such a wonderful story, such a beautiful character....so true to real life. Is it possible to feel so much grief for someone you've never met before? Or for the absolute death of your favorite literary character? This marks the death of his story. Holden Caulfield will certainly not be in another Salinger work. I feel so beside myself that I'm almost willing to cry over the devastation, but I'm at odds with the reason for feeling that way. Really, it's just a story afterall.
I still haven't gotten out of my Kings of Leon phase...and I probably won't for quite some time. That's the music on right now and I still haven't really gotten into the grove of one of the albums yet.
Etched on my heart, stained my soul
Moments never fleeting.
Songs from the moment,
Visions burst into sight
Goosebumps over my skin take me back.
The scent in the air, feeling the moment.
Encompassed in its cocoon, comfort in the warmth.
Blood spills from the wound, etched forever strong.
...still working on that one.
About Me
- Kitten
- I graduated in May of 2008 with degrees in both English Literature and Philosophy from the Univeristy of Wisconsin in Madison, WI. Since graduating, I have moved to Tennessee and continue writing as much as possible on my blog about the experiences I have, thoughts I may have lingering around in my head, and some free verse I experiment with. I am extremely lucky to have the experience of being a Liberal in the Conservative South and am thankful for it. I am constantly evolving from the experience and remain a changing being, pondering my everyday existence. I recently moved to New England and am so excited to be here!
