The Fall of the House of Usher - Edgar Allan Poe

During the whole of a dull, dark soundless day
In

the autumn of that year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in
heaven

I had been passing alone on the horse's back
Through the Singularly, dreamy

tract in the country and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew Finally , when the night fell slowly, Within the view of melancholy House of Usher The cold scenery unfolded before my eyes. I know not how it was . But with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit














I looked upon the scene before me the simple landscape features of the domain
On

the bleak walls, upon the white trunks of decayed trees
With

the utter depression souls There was an
iciness _ _ _ _ The text, the classroom like ruins, and the helpless and powerless male teacher make the whole film look pale, perhaps it should be said that it is vast and confused. I also dreamed of becoming a teacher. In my middle school, my favorite Chinese teacher and the dean of education, they all asked me to be admitted to a normal school. It's just that I failed these two. As a result, he never stepped into a well-known or noble institution again. I read the books my parents told me to read in a daze, and I didn't know at the time that those books were actually read for myself in the end. It's ridiculous to think about it now. This society makes people feel that they have nothing, even the richest people still have nothing because they have no dreams and beliefs. This society makes people feel that there is nothing exciting. Even the dazzling celebrities from all walks of life are just walking, moving, and making money with their fleshly bodies. How many of them are not in vain, and how many are really dedicating their lives to this society and this world?



















How long has it been since you cried? Ask yourself how long you've been paralyzed. A person without perception and emotion will not have demands on himself, nor will he cry because his dreams and hopes are lost.

We are detached from the body and soul, living in this noisy space, thinking that our lively heartbeat and expressive face are still alive, that is to live, but most of the time, most people have transcended the body and soul, dead.

Don't say my words and thoughts are heavy and dark, because "detachment" allows me to see the real present, teenagers, children, teachers, schools, what happened?

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
