Lanced Hearts of Lovers & Martyrs
I'm Eric, a young poet who seems to have been swept away in the Romantic Spirit of Beethoven's Symphonies, struck by the philosophies of Plato & the Poets' lyrics, burned for love like the martyrs of Rome, and can see an honest beauty in love & faith.This blog is dedicated to my passions in Poetry, Literature, History, Philosophy, and Music, along with exploring the beauty and truth in the Christian faith-- how it rebels and transcends the ways of the world and burns it ablaze; preaches it's the Heart that counts, sings how Love endures, and that Truth is a beautiful Bride & hypocrisy a sin. It reveals that love is self-less, death is no end, and that there's no greater love than to lay down your life for your friends.

—-All other things shall fade away
But Love stands alone, still holds sway.
All other things shall fade away,
into the ground, into the grave… -
Not that there was much competition in the 1800s…

So I’ve recently fallen in love with the band Beirut.
The Dilema: Now, you can laugh if you want, but I have such a hard time pronouncing Beirut. :P Okay, okay, I’m a Wagnerite, I’m so used to saying Bayreuth, that always seems to comes out instead…
