>>23313899According to this board, all you would receive is pedophilic literature. Do not bother asking us.
>>23313899Keats is not unrelated.>>23313906Books are part of life, you dolt. Every time I see you you're making some inane overconfident point. One of the worse track records on the board.
Carmen 16
>>23313906Yes I'm aware but I'd at least like to understand the experience somewhat first.
Prufrock, by TS Eliot.
>>23313899All foundational love poetry appeals to at least a subset of men because romance is a male invention.
>>23313921IF YOU DO THAT, YOU WILL APPROACH THINGS WITH NAIVE —IDIOTIC— LITERARY BIASES THAT WILL ONLY HINDER YOU FROM ACTUALLY PERFORMING WELL AT ANY GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCES.EXONERATE THE BOOKNERD DEMON FROM YOUR BODY.
>>23313899Arnaut Daniel, Dante, Donne, Keats, Baudelaire. Boccaccio is essential if you're up for prose.

>>23314461>Boccaccio is essential if you’re up for prosePoetry in translation? Fucking retard
>>23314631>Poetry in translationNo - for the Decameron. There are immortal tales of love contained therein, including stories that have been adapted to poems, notably by Keats in English.
>>23314645Did he write in English?
>>23314648A quick google search will tell you that the Decameron is written in early Italian prose. If you have a point, I suggest you get to it.
>>23314654Looking for good prose in translation is retarded. Now get to it and shut up.
>>23314666>Looking for good prose in translation is retardedYou can read it in Italian. No one wrote anything about requiring translations. If you do not have the tongue and feel it necessary, learn it. Also, this is a senseless and uninformed sentiment, the type that can only be expressed by the incapacitated, the underaged, or trolls - I will assume (correctly) you are some combination of all three.
>>23314682No one reads anything in Italian, worm. Learn English.My sentiment is correct. You’ll do as your told. Good grief!
