"Oh effulgent relativity!"

effulgent |iˈfoŏljənt; iˈfəl-|adjective poetic/literary shining brightly; radiant.• (of a person or their expression) emanating joy or goodness.

Just one of my new favorite words. I rock at blogging I must say.

These are the quotes I had to choose from to write my take home portion of my final for post-modernism. The prompt was to write  about how one of these quotes either does or does not reflect literature after 1945.

1. ... the past runs like water through my hands

2. Does not everything depend on our interpretation of the silence around us?

3. I don't know if this is a happy ending but here we are let loose in open fields.

4. I would try to return home.

I thought they were all lovely. Although I have no idea what I would write about with the last one. I suppose it leaves a little more room for interpretation than the others but they're all wildly open so it doesn't really matter. All of these quotes are the very last sentence - or at least part of the very last sentence - of a book we have read in class. I find that interesting looking at question 3. Either way, they remind me of how much I loved the books I read this semester and just how beautiful they all are.
