𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐯: Rainy Street Corner
* * * *
Rain By Jorge Luis Borges Translated by AZ Foreman
The afternoon has brightened up at last For rain is falling, sudden and minute. Falling or failing. There is no dispute : Rain is a thing that happens in the past.
Who hears it fall retrieves a time that fled When an uncanny windfall could reveal To him a flower by the name of rose And the perplexing redness of its red.
Falling until it blinds each windowpane, Within a suburb now long lost this rain Shall liven black grapes on a vine inside
A certain patio that is no more. A long-awaited voice through the downpour Is from my father. He has never died.

I ADORE characters that just have something subtly wrong with them. Just the slightest thing that makes them uncanny, like they don’t belong in that world.
Like how the Darkling has looked 17 for centuries.
Or how Miguel has claws instead of spider grip.
Or how Nimona’s eyes reflect light like a cat’s.
Or how Connwaer never got sick.
Or Achilles hair being gold while everyone else’s was brown.
You know, just little things that’s say “this one is different. This one is not like us.”

But, you can't simply spend your whole life waiting for a miracle to happen, a person to appear, and a hand to hold.

[text ID: "Before the heat of day
All in the misty morn,
Comes AUGUST with her gifts
To men, of yellow corn,
With shining hair bound up,
And deep blue misty eyes,
And lips the colour of
The poppies that she ties:
Her soft maize-coloured robe
Doth flutter to her feet;
Her lap is full of corn
And summer flowers sweet.
Her hands with poppies filled,
Of glowing scarlet hue,
Bound up together with
Fair cornflowers of blue
And now the corn is gathered
And 'neath the setting sun,
With lovely light above the hills,
She knows her time is done."]

The Philosophy of the Sublime
The sublime is a concept in philosophy and aesthetics that refers to an experience of awe, grandeur, and wonder, often evoking a mixture of fear and admiration. This notion has been explored by various philosophers and thinkers throughout history, particularly in the context of nature, art, and human experience. Here’s an in-depth exploration of the philosophy of the sublime:
1. Historical Origins
Edmund Burke: In his work "A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful" (1757), Burke distinguished between the beautiful and the sublime. He associated the sublime with vastness, infinity, and power, which can overwhelm and inspire a sense of awe and terror.
Immanuel Kant: In "Critique of Judgment" (1790), Kant elaborated on the sublime as something that transcends normal human experience and comprehension. He identified two forms of the sublime: the mathematical sublime, related to the vastness of nature and the universe, and the dynamical sublime, related to the power and force of natural phenomena.
Romanticism: The Romantic poets and artists, such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Caspar David Friedrich, celebrated the sublime in nature, emphasizing the emotional and spiritual responses to its grandeur and beauty.
2. Key Characteristics of the Sublime
Vastness and Infinity: Experiences or objects that are vast in scale, such as mountains, oceans, or the night sky, evoke a sense of the sublime. Their immensity challenges human perception and comprehension.
Power and Terror: The sublime often involves elements of danger and power, such as thunderstorms, hurricanes, or erupting volcanoes. These evoke fear but also admiration for their majesty and force.
Transcendence: The sublime experience transcends ordinary understanding and evokes a sense of something greater than oneself. It can lead to feelings of humility and reverence.
Aesthetic Experience: In art and literature, the sublime is associated with works that evoke profound emotional responses, often through depictions of nature’s grandeur or human achievement.
3. Philosophical Implications
Human Limits: The concept of the sublime highlights the limitations of human perception and understanding. It suggests that there are aspects of existence that are beyond human control and comprehension.
Emotional Complexity: The sublime evokes complex emotions that combine fear, awe, wonder, and admiration. This complexity enriches human experience and understanding of the world.
Nature and the Divine: The sublime often leads to reflections on the relationship between nature and the divine. The overwhelming power and beauty of nature can evoke a sense of the divine presence or the transcendental.
4. The Sublime in Art and Culture
Visual Arts: Artists like J.M.W. Turner and Caspar David Friedrich captured the sublime in their depictions of natural landscapes and phenomena, emphasizing vastness, power, and emotional depth.
Literature: Writers such as Mary Shelley and Lord Byron explored the sublime in their works, using language to evoke the awe and terror of natural and supernatural elements.
Modern Interpretations: Contemporary artists and thinkers continue to explore the sublime in various forms, including digital art, cinema, and virtual reality, pushing the boundaries of what can evoke awe and wonder.
5. Critiques and Evolving Perspectives
Subjectivity: Some critics argue that the experience of the sublime is highly subjective and culturally specific. What one person finds sublime, another may not.
Environmental Ethics: The concept of the sublime has been revisited in discussions about environmental ethics, emphasizing the need to protect and preserve the natural landscapes that evoke these profound experiences.
The philosophy of the sublime explores the profound and often overwhelming experiences of awe, grandeur, and wonder in response to nature, art, and human achievement. It challenges human limits of perception and understanding, evoking complex emotions and reflections on the transcendental. From its historical origins in the works of Burke and Kant to its manifestations in Romantic art and contemporary culture, the sublime remains a powerful and enduring concept in philosophy and aesthetics.
