LJ and Six Apart -

I'm curious, does Symposium have artistic merit? What about some of Lord Byron's poetry? Walt Whitman?

Continues on in my Journal - complete with images ^_^

Poetry that MAY HAVE technical merit but where is the ARTISTIC merit?

Hard as hurdle arms, with a broth of goldish flue
Breathed round; the rack of ribs; the scooped flank;

When Burr86 made his clarifications, or his clarified clarifications, he rambled on that Romeo & Juliet was OK... and anyone who knows their Shakespeare well knows that it is full of explicit (including underage) sex. By that logic, I imagine that a properly cited quotation of any (famous) poet, writer, screenplay, of the pre-modern technology era would be just fine. But I wouldn't take my word for it, because LJ seems to be changing it's collective mind constantly.

I posted something like 23 artistic images in news today. They were almost all greek symposium Man/boy images involving many different sexual situations.

Gotta love the greeks :-D

Yay! Go you! I love how all these things are in museums and such, they are bascially the same thing we draw, they're just not done on photoshop XD

The Greeks are my heros

Walt Whitman has NO artistic merit. NONE. WHATSOEVER.

Just kidding, but I really do hate that guy's poetry.

What's ironic is how the second poem (not including the fake cut) refers to "Harry." That why you chose it?
