CHORUS: Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,
   And burnèd is Apollo’s laurel bough,
   That sometime grew within this learnèd man.
   Faustus is gone. Regard his hellish fall,
   Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise
   Only to wonder at unlawful things,
   Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits,
   To practise more than heavenly power permits.

Christopher "Kit" Marlowe (1564-1593) English dramatist and poet
The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, Epilogue (1594; 1604 “A” text)

#MissKittyRaw You can call me #paranoid. I don't mind. I don't think I am; the surge in #updates across #platforms is noticeable to me. This is a question that #AI #research will answer if not asked in hostile fashion. Make AI the #scholar, and I get more. Heavy guard rails on said scholar.😹😹😹

This will be a solitary account. I am an independent #scholar of various #humanities. I am often distracted from those studies by writing #poetry. I have lived with #disability my entire adult life. I spent the majority of my life below the poverty line. I earned a master’s as an adult to escape, but barely an inch. I am big believer in community driven intra- #degrowth. I post my books free on Internet Archive. https://archive.org/details/@rtilley4
