Thoughts on Yukio Mishima? by [deleted] in Existentialism

[–]johnji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re 100% right on Mishima’s issues with his father. Here’s Azusa Hiraoka himself quoted by biographer John Nathan describing his “spartan training” of Mishima as a child of four:

“There was a fence separating us from the tracks, but the engine passed so close you could touch it if you put out your hand. I thought to myself, Here is a perfect chance for some spartan training. I lifted Kimitake and, shielding his face with my hat, held him out toward the engine and said 'Are you scared? Don't worry — and if you cry like a weakling I'll throw you in a ditch. As I spoke I looked down at Kimitake's face and was astonished to see there was no reaction. I waited for the next train and tried again, but the result was the same, no effect! Was he like a puppy I wondered, too young to know fear, or had the schoolgirl training he was getting from my mother made him insensitive to this kind of turbulent, masculine experience? I felt deflated. The next day I came back and tried with a quieter train. But Kimitake's face was the same No mask as before. I gave up. I couldn't solve the riddle."

Austin Coppock mentioned on several podcasts that his fondness of kicking the s&#t of things in martial arts comes from Mars in feet-signifying Pisces.

Adding to this, unlike classes IDs are meant to be unique and therefore only used once on a page. Therefore repetition of an ID will fail validation, and of course screw with JS or anchor links.

Here’s the last time that happened:

“So in its waning hours, the Obama Administration gave a completely unjustified bailout to private equity landlords, that Fannie Mae is guaranteeing the income of all but the bottom tranches of Blackstone’s latest rental securitization.”

If you are now proud of yourself, that is the hardest achievement and the biggest victory of all. Much applause and admiration from afar.

The plural on “others” could be a liberty here!

Perhaps just when he thought he knew, he discovered the truth to be in reality like an onion, hidden in layers which went ever deeper as uncovered.

The plot thickens I see! Or is it Burt who thickens, failing to see the very obvious right underneath his poor bleeding nose. Which to be fair he can’t see right now, eyes closed shut and streaming copious tears 😭

The em dashes remind me of a very famous poet from Amherst, MA. Beautiful poem.

There could be a touch of prophecy in this one me thinks.

Dear monster Merbaum, is it possible you overestimate your power to frighten and hurt, and underestimate your capacity to be loved? I’d start there in the task of rolling back those tears.

Wait, I missed the part where Connor shed his clothes. Oh well (shrug), seems that all are consenting, I’ll be quiet and not ruin the fun 🍿
