Through the dismal half-light, my eyes could only just make out an immense staircase that stretched up the decrepit landing. A strange odour emanated from the wooden steps, suggesting I was perhaps not the first mortal soul to wander these deserted halls, nor would I be the last to leave, alive, at least. A series of gashes lined the wall, unsettlingly similar to those found in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Below my feet, two depressions in the wood trailed up the stairs, worn away where people
Chris’s Awakening Chris woke to the sound of crying. It was 3 o’clock in the morning and he’d been alone when he went to bed. He was sure he was alone when he went to bed. He’s always alone when he goes to bed. But he also remembered going to bed in his own room. He jerked up from the floor, he was lying on and looked around. There was nothing in the room. Nothing but a girl in the corner. She was crying, and Chris was still trying to process what was going on. “Um, where am I?” Chris asked the
Other Animals is a quartet led by German brothers Peter and Bernhard Meyer, guitarist and bassist, respectively, who take all the credit for the twelve compositions of the band's debut album. They are joined by the Berlin-based saxophonist Wanja Slavin and the American drummer Jim Black, a pivotal figure in the New York jazz scene. The animated beat that introduces “Drown Dreams”, an oblique, dreamy, chamber pop song, doesn’t dissemble some solemnity attached to its melody and harmonic conduction
Arthur Baer once said “A good neighbor is a fellow who smiles at you over the back fence, but doesn’t climb over it.” In the poem ‘Mending Wall’, by Robert Frost, it talks about two neighbors who rebuild a wall between their pastures. One believes the wall is good and neccary but the other thinks the wall is pointless due to the fact neither have livestock or other pets to trespass on one’s land. Fences are good at respecting boundaries though it can cause issues with neighbors, such as lack of communication
Good fences make good neighbors. But what does that even mean? Why do people feel they have to wall themselves off from each other? These are all questions that Robert Frost attempted to answer in his modernist poem The Mending Wall. In the poem, Frost examines the different reasons why a neighbor might be putting up a fence, between the narrator’s apple orchard, and the neighbors pine grove. Armed only with his witty humor, rhetoric, and stream of consciousness narrative, Frost questions the cultural
Released in 1979, The Wall, by progressive rock band Pink Floyd, stands as one of the most famous album of all time. Highly regarded for its deep lyrical meaning and concept album storyline, The Wall sold over 19 million copies worldwide. Exploring the depths of depression and pain, The Wall depicts the story of Pink, a troubled man separated from the world by a metaphorical brick wall of isolation and addiction. “Thin Ice” begins the album with the sheer cries of a wailing baby depicting the innocence
Roger Daltrey’s vocal range is quite astonishing in The Who’s album A Quick One. Released in 1967 by Reaction labels this album has a total of ten songs that lead up to a so called ‘finale’ song that is nine minutes long. A Quick One was recorded at IBC studios in London in 1966 by The Who’s producer Kit Lambert. The entire album catches the listener with up-beat and bright pop style songs while mixing in the rock “opera” that The Who is known for. A Quick One was released during The Who’s early
Throughout the article, poem, and book the concept of social and physical walls is displayed in detailed and various examples to give emphasis to the overall meaning of each piece of literature. The book, though not specifying specifically on walls, but rather screens, mentions that screens tend to block out all our unconscious snap-judgments and let us listen with calm, beating hearts rather than our disapproving eyes. Though not identical, the poem portrays the same implication and that the neighbors

A battered boxer knowing the inevitable defeat couldn't compare to the shame that this man walked. With triumphant gusto Reginald welcomes Dough with false arms and with a pseudo announcement as he approaches him, '' LOOK OUT PEOPLE A WALKING LEGEND.'' And humourlessly just to Dough, "or shall I say a fucking legend." ''You schmuck!" Dough replies. Reginald guides Dough further aside to whisper an ophiomormous ploy into his naked ear. "Is it the blonde I could easily replace her? I can, with the
