WOW i kind of have a crush on my critic

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was just another author that had a second job of being a critic, i guessed he needed some spare cash to pay the bills, but it turns out that he was and is so much more than that. i have read a lot of his work, but never did i know his thoughts behind literature. i guess i could have inferred given Kubla Kahn and so on and so forth. when we talked about the willful suspension of disbelief in class, i could only think of this song that i have like now for the past two years or so

"Willful Suspension Of Disbelief"

Everywhere everywhere everywhere
It's all so plain it's all a plan
The sky doesn't ever end
The air just gets much thinner further up
You could keep diggin' down and down
A thousand graves down without turnin'
Around or finding hell
You find you're digging up again
Everywhere everywhere everywhere
Willful suspension of disbelief


this song was always so beautiful and accompanied me on many walks and moments in my life as a form of comfort, the irony. when i found out what a willing suspension of disbelief was, i realized that was defined in how i felt about this song which just so happened to be titled a willful suspension of disbelief, now if thats not crazy i don't know what is. I'm actually playing the song on repeat right now as I'm typing this and the haunting instrumentals really make an impact on my soul, and i think about what Samuel, yes we are on a first name basis, talked about a person's relationship with art, and i totally understand that, its like how the woman in Wallace Steven's poem has a relationship with her song, or how DQ has a relationship with the books he has read, or even how Frye has a relationship with all of the writings he has read, it goes to show that art is apart of us, it creates something in us all its own. we suspend our minds, imaginations, and souls in order for that to happen, and i think that is beautiful.
