Your Grades are Posted
If you have a creative writing piece for me, please email it: marcusschwager@gmail.com.
Also, I will probably be changing the address of this blog for next year to make it easier to type in, etc. It will probably be longbowsong.blogspot.com...but we will see. The longbow reference is from Tales of the Longbow by G.K. Chesterton. I have in mind to start a literary society: The Longbow Literary League.
Enjoy,
Mr. S

From That Hideous Strength
"His education had had the curious effect of making things that he read and wrote about more real to him than things he saw. Statistics about agricultural laborers were the substance; any real ditcher, ploughman, or farmer's boy, was the shadow. Though he had never noticed it himself, he had a great reluctance, in his work, ever to use words as 'man' or 'woman.' He preferred to write about 'vocational groups,' 'elements,' 'classes' and 'populations.': for, in his own way, he believed as firmly as a mystic in the superior reality of the things that are not seen (87).
"For the Hideous Strength confronts us and it is as in the days when Nimrod built a tower to reach heaven" (288).
"On the floor lay a large crucifix, almost life size, a work of art in the Spanish tradition, ghastly and realistic. 'We have half an hour to pursue our exercises,' said Frost looking at his watch. Then he instructed Mark to trample on it and insult it in other ways" (334).
"Those who have forgotten Lorgres sink into Britain. Those who call for Nonsense will find that it comes" (372).
"He said something about being mirrors enough to see another" (362).
