Its important to keep your eyes open at all times, even pointed towards the olden days.
Find beauty everywhere, even in your history textbooks. Or when watching A&E poets documentaries. Ergo, as of late we are all attracted posthumously to prize-winning poet (and manic-depressive) Robert Lowell. The strain of madness, the self-conscious awareness of his own youthful indiscretions, best friendship with noted lesbian Elizabeth Bishop, and elegiac, ironic poetry all add up to a hotness quotient. Blue-blood Bostonian roots (and a HOT batch of family issues) and multiple marriages also factors of attraction.

ROBERT LOWELL, I WANNA GO TO THE NEW YORK SCHOOL WITH YOU!
