Anne Bronte "Agnes Grey"

Have read "Agnes Grey" written by Anne recently. That's a gorgeous, quite overlooked novel, well-nigh comparable to other novels of that epoch (Osten's or Gaskell's ones, for instance). Agnes is an inspiring, sincere character, indeed. She is a dignified pattern of a person who endeavours to be devoted in spite of her condition and preserve her dignity.

Anne Bronte's approach to writing was particularly mature despite her age. I do appreciate other Brontes, but we ought to say a word for Anne Bronte.

How do you perceive the final of The Glass Bead Game and the three lives written by Joseph Knecht?

Despite my perception of the novel as a dystopia, I'm persuaded that Joseph Knecht is a pattern of a real teacher, directing his pupils towards the light. The "three lives" continue the same idea. Joseph Knecht wasn't a vulnerable person, regardless of the circumstances he was offered, he decided to remain a real teacher and serve high values instead of sitting in the "ivory tower".

What's the most beautiful, fair Stones' lyrics, from your point of view?

Just personally, mine is Lady Jane. Although English isn't my first tongue, I appreciate the poetic qualities demonstrated in the song. Brian's work on the dulcimer is pretty notable also.

What's your first VU's song you've ever heard?

I don't remember exactly what's my one, but it was definitely from the debut album. I was motivated to discover other Velvet's songs, since then I'm a huge fan of them.

I don't know why, but when I'm listening to the bridge in "New Age" I exactly hear "Someone's gonna put on weight" instead "Something's got a hold on me". XD

John Cale is the basement of the band's sound, but, personally, I think that we must say a word for Doug Yule, an underrated and talented musician (his Squeze demonstrates it). Yule had made the band simpler in case we're talking about their sound, but not worse generally.

In my opinion, Let it Bleed is relatively underrated. There're some songs that really deserve more attention.

Also, Tatoo you is a pretty good one. Personally, I think "I'm waiting on a friend" is one of their best songs.
