>guenon over hugo

alzheimer's is killing this retard, surely?

>>24581486 (OP)
America was Whitman*

>>24581486 (OP)
What about Germany?

>>24581486 (OP)
>Guenon over Proust, Balzac, Flaubert or Stendhal
Was it autism?

>>24581509
hesse, indubitably. if you're gay then goethe

>>24581486 (OP)
>>24581490
>Guenon over Proust
Guenon is literally gibberish. I'd give more standing to the run of the mill babbling schizophrenic on the street.

>>24581486 (OP)
America should be Walt Whitman.

>>24581519
>if you're gay then goethe
t. only read werther

>>24581509
probably schmidt or böll for me

>>24581519
idgi. hesse is big gay too

>>24581528
No it shouldn't

>>24581566
and?

>>24581573
Yes, it should. He's the closest thing there is to a national poet.

>>24581509
Hitler

>Modernist poet Ezra Pound called Whitman "America's poet... He is America."
> According to the Poetry Foundation, he is "America's world poet—a latter-day successor to Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Shakespeare."

>>24581585
and he likes describing soapy boysmells. it makes me quite inconfortable to read about it

>>24581595
Just looked up one of his poems. And it feels like I'm missing something. "I was listening to an astronomer, hated it and instead looked at the stars" ok that's relatable but what is his magnum opus?

pound only gets ranked high because he looked stylish, even as a dying old man he looked good. that he's on par with shakespeare and dante is absurd.

>>24581612
That was it anon, don't tell me you don't feel it

>>24581486 (OP)
Guenón? Based take yet weird

>>24581539
>acting like you have read Schmidt
Kek kwab kek

>>24581612
ESL? Even then, ESLs across the world love Whitman. You might just be too retarded for poetry.

>>24581742
Dugin is weird altogether, but he selected Dante and Guenon because it legitimizes appeals to mysticism

>>24581762
That's probably not it since most poetry I've read was in English and as an example, I've had no issues appreciating Blake. But again, I understand not every poem hits the jackpot so I'm asking what is his best work so I can form a representative opinion.

>>24581486 (OP)
Seems like he doesn't really have individuated or refined taste and enjoys critic bait. Shakespeare has nothing in common with Pound nor Dostoevsky; they're all entirely different writers

>>24581612
You dismissed him and you don't even know his most famous poem? Come on now.

>>24581826
I didn't dismiss him. I indicated that I didn't like the poetry I found and asked for some I might like better. But this is apparently too much to ask. Disengaging, have a great rest of the day!

>>24581509
Germany has guilt

>>24581486 (OP)
Ezra Pound lol

>>24581486 (OP)
imagine this fat retard discussing world literature and when france comes up he says guenon

>>24581755
did you get filtered? sorry to her that

>>24581486 (OP)
Is he specifically taking the opportunity to insult Descartes? If so, that's based.

>>24581925
Nah, I own a copy of Bottom’s Dream and am actively reading it, as I have finished and own his other available works. I am just not one to say Schmidt when it comes to Germany, and usually people who do have never read him — they just like the idea of letting people know that they know who he is.

>>24581522
Seething.

>>24581945
Most people don't understand this at all, but Descartes's philosophy is quite literally Luciferianism.
Dugin probably sees it for what it really is.

>>24581949
he always comes to my mind for questions like this because i have a hard time thinking of a writer who took the german language further

>>24581509
Peter Sloterdijk

>>24581509
Wagner

>>24581509
Kraftwerk

>>24581822
if you think of his entire career as critic bait it makes a lot more sense. he acts like a rasputin so western journos can have somebody "whispering in putin's ear, making him do crazy shit" to write about and portray russia as eurasian hordes rather than a country that wants money, power and influence like the rest. in exchange he gets talked about and read by more people.

>>24581986
Neither you nor Dugin have actually read Descartes, who was also an extremely important mathematician btw

>>24582783
Descartes was quite literally a Luciferian, which you would know if you understood his philosophy.

>>24582791
>>24582783

>>24582805
You haven't read him then have you

>>24582816
Yes I have

>>24581595
Walt Whitman, much like Pound himself, was actually shit.

>>24581486 (OP)
no retard, listing a well-known author from every country on your twitter does not make you look smart

Goethe and Richard Wagner, both far more profound than any Russian, American, Frenchman (though Baudelaire and Balzac deserve consideration) and Englishman besides Shakespeare

>>24581490
>>24581522
he's pushing names that align with him politically. first two are there to create the impression list is objective.

>>24581486 (OP)
Dugin is a retarded third world shilling Eurasian nigger. I can't believe a thread died for this shit.
