What would happen if you were gone? Would we move on or slowly fade away like a dying sun? Would we still have memories, warm emotions… or sink tortured to our insanity’s deepest oceans? Would we still grip easily to rationality or be just phantoms, Shells of our former selves, cursed to live in a […]

In Skelling, a dying Irish […]

For a while For a while Can’t you be mine Can I hold you again Like that time? I don’t know much about Korean actors, but I am familiar with Lee Joon-Gi‘s (이준기) work. Later on, you will see on eLitere reviews for certain films and drama series, but today I chose to speak about […]

Sometimes words are futile and the only thing that can make you relax is an instrumental song. Besides Loreena McKennitt‘s The Mystic’s Dream, which will be the subject of another article, I also love listening to La Serenissima, which appeared on the harpist’s 1997 album entitled The Book of Secrets. Though La Serenissima was another name […]

I almost can’t believe that Sailor Moon is finally on eLitere. It’s not what I imagined it would be, but I’m still happy with this little article. I found this book tag on Super Space Chick’s blog and I love it, I feel like watching the anime again. Right… let’s get started. Moon: a book […]

For today’s post, I’m going to review a poetry collection entitled Songs of Kabir, which is written by the Indian saint and mystic poet Kabir and it is translated into English by another famous Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore. What I understood from Evelyn Underhill’s presentation of Kabir’s life and poems is that Kabir was the […]
