I'm not one for a long and drawn out process in recruiting: I'm a modernist, pure and simple. I pride myself on keeping these aspects of my work clean, fashioned and quantifiable. If you enjoy an alliance that supports its members well enough and still engages even the newest additional enlistment to enjoin in our culture then my alliance is a decent choice in your considerations. Whatever your untimely choice, we all deserve equal respect in our separate endeavors as players of the online game. Click the link in my signature to be re-directed to Sparta's official web-site.

Culture:
Be different. Prove yourself a reliable and valiant Hellene and live forever on the tongues of your fellow man like the legend you were meant to become! Like Hercules face your fears and conquer your most intimate challenges; endless in their indisputable glory. Let no one tell you anything else but to follow your own path. Doxa Sparta!

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
(December 10 1830 - May 15 1886: aged 55 1\2)
☥
EDITORIAL PREFACE:
EMILY DICKINSON was an American poet and masterful artist of classical [American] sentimentalism and verifiable grit. She set a
morose and often detestably perplexing style of syntax and writing structure in her wake via a great deal of her poetry, and from which she become famous for after her death. An imaginative author, but widely unknown for the duration of her life, Elizabeth Dickinson was a recluse and a timid woman in person for any soul to congregate with outside of her letters of duress or appreciation or criticism. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to a successful family she spent much of her time alone and died in her family home. She is buried in accordance with her will and final testament, too.
Enjoy the madness of her brilliancy yous guys!

"Because I could not [stop for] Death"
by Emily E. Dickinson:
"Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.We passed the school, where children strove
At recess, in the ring;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.Or rather, he passed us;
The dew grew quivering and chill,
For only gossamer my gown,
My tippet only tulle.We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.Since then 'tis centuries, and yet each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' headsWere toward eternity."
