General Information

ABOUT US
Welcome!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group dedicated to promoting the work of Literature artists on deviantArt.

By showcasing one featured Daily Deviation per day the Literature Gallery Moderators provide the community with a showcase of excellence in Literature. In contrast, we will be showcasing excellence with a series of literature pieces each day in a News Article to serve the community. We are a diverse group featuring 5 pieces of quality literature every day.

In such a large community many artists feel that their work goes unnoticed. We are here to help change that!

Please show your support by reading and

ing the pieces featured in our daily News Article.

Darkest Shadow Sailing!
     Soaring!
   Fleeting!
Flying!
Through the clouds,
    the stars.
Past planets,
    encircling moons.
Gliding into galaxies unknown.

...

Such freedom
    flexibility.
  Such light,
         and joy,
           and hope!
Twisting,
    twirling,
a midnight ballerina.

...

Sensations,
   feelings.
The wind,
     caressing my soul.

a wildfire waltzing inexorably over her naked forests drowning in untouchable glass.

they burn blackholes over scientific studies; (over the skin that wraps me,)
like an empty gift burning in the smoke that rises,
over star-reaching treetops:
wastefull consummation to the greatest.

Proverbs of Earth I Proverbs of Earth

12.27
Formless ideas attempt to shape others in their image, and fail. The shapeless preach to the shapeless.

1.24
By definition, everything on this Earth is mundane.

Respite comes in the absence of comprehension.

Thought is a mirror, trained to have an opinion of the scenery that it reflects.

Life is the rainbow on the surface of a greasy pool.

2.6
The mind's thoughts are subjective. Perception is its only aspect that is able to hold truth, and its interpretation is full of errors.

_{Part introspective-philosophical piece, part
daily life vignette. I greatly admire the way the
story slowly looses its details, letting the reader

Conte : Les Larmes Selon la légende, Dieu créa la Terre et y plaça les animaux.
Lorsqu'il créa l'homme et la femme, les animaux se demandaient s'ils étaient des leurs
Ils les observèrent durant des jours et des semaines
Et la première chose qu'ils virent, c'est que l'homme et la femme pouvaient pleurer
Quand ils étaient tristes, ou quand ils avaient mal

Voulant eux aussi avoir cette faculté, ils se réunirent et demandèrent
À voir Dieu le Créateur
Lorsqu'ils furent tous en sa présence, le lion s'adressa à lui.

Conte: Les Larmes by ~urdDevilHentai

_{An imaginative story, in the voice of a
traditional legend, of what happened when the
first animals in creation demanded from God
the ability to cry.}

If you look gloomy, gloomy things will find you
It's a waste... to carry on with these heavy feelings
If you... feel today's breeze, it feels really nice, right?
