Description
...that has such people in it.
John Savage, from Huxley's "Brave New World" - one of those all-time-most-beloved books. Doing his penance.
If you ever wanted to know how I read poetry, look at how John reads Shakespeare.... and this is why I'd never be a good lit student or a balanced human being.
...felt like I all-but-was this character when I first read the book, aged 17 and all-but-crazy.
Words fail me.
no point in me talking, if you've read it, you know.
"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."
....Gods, that boy is pure Sturm und Drang.
(all comments welcome, as always)

Beautiful work. The indefinite nature of the ballpoint pen really adds to the piece's mood and is reflective of the scene.
Brave New World is, truly, a masterpiece of a book. It has so much to say.
