Caught up on all my hw so I can finally sit down at the library and continue The Secret History 📚 {mine}

Greek aesthetic classics

I am certain that at this point we are all well aware about the dark academia aesthetic and its implications. Nevertheless, I have noticed that the aesthetic has become a simple collection of pictures and movie recommendations. I would like to clarify that Tumblr is certainly not a magnificent place to look for knowledge, but still I think that this meaningless posts are completely destroying the classical word with their bare hands. I am a firm advocate of the dark academia aesthetic. Thus, I am delighted to share with the few scholars that shall read this post some basic ancient Greek (and Roman) books you will read if your heart desires so. These books will fill your head with madness and confusion, but let the gods be aware of their impact in our modern society.

- The Odyssey (Homer)

- The Aeneid (Virgil)

- Poetics (Aristotle)

- Poems and Fragments (Sappho)

Currently taking notes on an article I have to critique about bottled water (or just water in general??) from Hot Springs, Arkansas. I’m suffering guys help me. But at least I have a chai tea latte☕️ {mine}

Dead Poets Society literally took my heart and crushed it.

“Exult O shores, and ring O bells!

But I with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain lies

Fallen cold and dead.” {mine}
