The Vocation of the Artist

This is from Etienne Gilson's Choir of Muses, translated by Maisie Ward.  My emphases in bold. *** The writer does not choose, he is chosen.  It is another question whether he will have the courage to obey the call, but he has still heard a call even if he rejects it ...

A Kiss Goodnight: A Game of Thrones Fan-Fiction Story

Disclaimer: This is an experimental fan-fiction one-shot based on the characters in Game of Thrones.

My Country – Right or Wrong?: The Search for True Patriotism

As an American freelance student of British history, I find it intriguing how the true meaning of patriotism has often been lost in the muck and mire of personal interpretation. Throughout history, the natural emotions that attach people to their native land have been twisted by advocates of various points of view to forward their own [...]
