    Thank you! Byzantine empire is often associated with palace intrigues and corruption. But this poem offers another interesting view.

    I never met a person who every second of their life wasn't dealing with the question of what their life meant, what they should be doing, who they were, and wasn't trying to be something for others. Can't get away from it for a second. Bullshit about getting caught up in blah blah blah So I don't know what the hell this guy is talking about.

    Victorian obsession with ethnology, but his identification of a Celtic racial type was useful to Yeats. Extending anglo-saxon tyranny and racism.

    Why do you always complain about supposed white racism? Before this you had issue with white women on cover photo of another video.
