OH LOOK literary Peter has returned.

And man, but he's eloquent. I'm not sure if that's my mood or his mood, but man, but he's eloquent.

...PETER. You are not allowed to ruthlessly plagiarize my Brit Lit class, even if it does prove how well-educated you are. Except he pretty much is, and I'm going to get snapped at for using the terms improperly, probably. OH WELL.

...cannot quote LotR; that was not written yet. Damn, that's one reference I could probably do. But at least Tolkien stole his sources. Fine, go ahead and quote Renaissance literature, American patriots, and Roman poets if you want. Be literary; it will just freak people out.

Also, Dust has passed 80K.

okay so you can't quote tolkien 'cos of anachronism thingie but you can paraphrase his ideas!

tolkien ripped off old english poetry, peter's ripping off this renaissance writer who did the same thing.

what dost thou, O river, to me? Thou bringest back the memory of the past.

does Peter have one of those brains where western lit goes to die? because i've read a story narrated by one of those and man was it fun. (dear self, upload some narnia icons. seriously. -me)

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, he does. He'd be doing it more so if I knew more western lit, but Christ Jesus, he does enough already.

Are you thinking of A Howling in the Factory Yard?
