You study her perfections and it is at that moment that a woman should give herself to you for the greatest possible pleasure. 4. To love is to take pleasure in seeing, touching, experiencing with all your senses, and being as close as possible to the loveable object, which loves you back. 5.

Sathnam Sanghera. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century.
He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. He remains among the linchpins of the American romantic movement,[3] and his work has greatly influenced the thinkers, writers and poets that have followed him. When asked to sum up his work, he said his central doctrine was "the infinitude of the private man. "[4] Emerson is also well known as a mentor and friend of fellow Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau.[5] Proust. Nadeem Aslam author bio.

Maya Angelou - The Official Website. James Joyce. James Joyce (1882-1941), Irish novelist, noted for his experimental use of language in such works as Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939).
Joyce's technical innovations in the art of the novel include an extensive use of interior monologue; he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions. James Joyce was born in Dublin, on February 2, 1882, as the son of John Stanislaus Joyce, an impoverished gentleman, who had failed in a distillery business and tried all kinds of professions, including politics and tax collecting. Joyce's mother, Mary Jane Murray, was ten years younger than her husband. She was an accomplished pianist, whose life was dominated by the Roman Catholic Church.

Just to mark the occasion an extract from the book (the original Scott-Moncrieff translation from here) [It is one of my favourite episodes in the book, the narrator's encounter with his literary idol Bergotte. The following extract precedes that episode. M. de Norpois, an eccentric and a rather philistine and conservative politician and diplomat, and a truly wonderful caricature, delivers his devastating verdict on Bergotte and narrator's youthful and imitative scribblings...] Here it is: “Was there a writer of the name of Bergotte at this dinner, sir?” “Yes, Bergotte was there,” replied M. de Norpois, inclining his head courteously towards me, as though in his desire to be pleasant to my father he attached to everything connected with him a real importance, even to the questions of a boy of my age who was not accustomed to see such politeness shewn to him by persons of his.
