What writer has the most noble soul? I'm tired of all the modern demoralization and cynicism.
Homer
>>23317233CARLYLE
I'll second Homer. Milton too. Melville as well.
>>23317243Too evil.
>>23317233Camus
>>23317252Melville was a domestic abuser and alcoholic. He also might've ruined his son's life. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2927436
>>23317299HS-tier
>>23317257???
>>23317304His writing certainly has a noble style. Tbh I don't really care about his personal life.
Robert WalserBeautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure
>>23317233Amiel
Virgil imo
>>23317233Anonymous when he isn't being meddling
>>23317233Spengler
>>23317315He was a cruel man with evil views.
>>23318116But enough about Cervantes. Hate his cruel and crude old book.
If you take their work at face value, someone like Gibran or Whitman.
>>23317233Dante
>>23317304He might have been traumatised by the whale slaughtering and could have been frustrated about his lack of literary success.
>>23318001Interesting. I was thinking Bachelard.
Zola
>>23317233Rousseau, read Confessions
>>23317243Based.
>>23317243Hi Curtis
>>23317233Wagner.
>>23317233Goethe
>>23317233cynicism is often a result of loving too much.
>>23318521Racism too, they say. I love my white brothers too much and it's made me racist. C'est lovey
>>23317233Guenon (PBUH)
Kierkegaard
>>23317233>>>/co/
>>23318316No
>>23318465Weird how fully formed some people already are as children.
>>23320443Simply because 'children' weren't allowed to exist in the way that they've been able to for the last century or so. Put them in any situation and they will adapt extremely quickly, yet we choose to treat them as incompetent versions of adults
>>23317233Idk about "most," but Mark Twain is certainly a contender.
>>23320443Had Wagner been born in the current year and raised by an iphone tablet he would have just become another Minecraft youtuber.
>>23317233Heinrich von Kleist
>>23320443The safety and structure of modernity generally delays development. Even normal leople are capable of impressive things if you place them in the right environment at a young age.
