    About this ebook

    Dionysian pessimism: a love of fate, going through life with unbridled joy, finding beauty in even the most brutal parts of life.

    Following Nietzsche’s call for an unconditional love of life and an appreciation for its aesthetic value, these poems are an attempt at finding the beauty in all life has to offer, and an effort at embracing even its most painful moments.

    With themes of hedonism, religion and Greek mythology, this collection is in its essence a love letter to life and fate’s barbarity.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the
