Unconquerable Souls

Yes I know I’m going to get some flack for this and I know a lot of people aren’t going to agree with me but that’s ok, I’ve always been one for a lost cause. I started thinking about this when I saw an interview with Jeffrey Dean Morgan on ‘The Losers’ in which he…
Welcome Back to my vision of the end of Sam and Dean’s fight to save the world! “With or Without You” is a multi-part, complex tale that brings the Supernatural saga to a close in a way that’s quite different than the “Unity”/”Despair”/”Inherit the Earth” finale that was presented in season 15. Yes, there’s mystery, danger, old friends…
In fact, about the only substantial thing to change since I wrote this article is that Sidney Crosby had to have major dental reconstruction after taking a slapshot to the jaw. (Who knows? Maybe my writing has “Supernatural” powers?!) Let me know what you think! Why Happily Married Middle-Aged Women Love the WinchestersOriginally Published: January…
Music in Supernatural and Character Theme Songs Music in Supernatural has been an ever-present, essential part of the story telling. The pilot episode, stocked as it was with drama and Winchester history, managed to make that clear. In the iconic moment that found Sam mocking Dean’s cassette collection and the ‘mullet rock’ it contained,…
When Supernatural aired in 2005, I made the mistake of not watching and have since missed out on eight years of weekly watching experience. Instead, I got to watch all eight seasons in just six months thanks to a Netflix subscription and my personal dedication to catching up before the October premiere of the ninth…

Icy wings? Been reading Mallarme’s ‘Le vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd’hui’ recently? 😀
I love that Poe piece, fits so well and a wonderfully musical, avant-garde power-chorded version was done by crazy Norwegians Arcturus years ago.
Hi, I’m Emily Dickinson, I’m going to be brilliant in ten lines. I’m not jealous. Grumble. But Tennyson? I’m shocked. 😎
Awesome stuff, Jas. Really is amazing how so much brilliant verse perfectly encapsulates the soul of the show, its *humanity*.
Jas, you are wonderfull, this was so beautiful. I loved each and every piece and they were excellent and deep and true… *sniffle*
I *heart* you for this 🙂
I gotta add that I especially was taken with the first one from William Henley. That was lovely and very fitting with our two heroes. Also loved the ones from Poe and Frost. But they were all great, full of thought and grace. True brilliance. I have no words.
I love this site 🙂 This is love and peace and trust all over. And I’m not being sarcastic (sorry Dean) 😉
Hi Jasminka
Wow! This was wonderfull.
Thank-you so much.
Jasminka, you are a wonder!
So appropriate and moving for our brothers. Very emotion inducing. (sniffling desperately)
These are wonderful–haven’t had much time for poetry since college (when I was required to make time), but I’d have loved these even if I’d never heard of the brothers Winchester
I hope it’s okay that i didn’t read a single word that was written in this article because i was too occupied drooling over the pictures that accompanied each poems. :roll::
Beautiful, Jas…as always. Loved the poems, one and all, and SOOOOO much enjoyed the screen caps. So poignantly placed. Hope your holidays are happy and safe, and look forward to hearing from you next year.
Sablegreen, anene, elenaM, Bevie, Karen, Supernarttu and Randal, happy new year and thanks so much for your sweet comments!!
After a great vacation with the people most dear to me I returned safely home. To be able to live (almost) without a computer and the internet was actually not bad, there were so many things to do, time to spend with each other (some of them I hardly see twice a year due to working conditions… don’t get me started), so I find my batteries recharged and I’m ready for this year…
Randal, to my shame I have to admit I haven’t read Mallarme a lot… does Rimbaud count (that one I love)? And, hell, yes, Tennyson… you can’t be at all surprised, eh?
Last time I was in London I went (and I do every time) to the National Portrait Gallery and for the first time I saw a painting of the young Tennyson (they change the exhibited pieces, you know). I was stunned. It’s a great thing you can acquire a print of every painting they have, and he lives now in a frame on my wall, watching over my poetry books. Beautiful, beautiful man… Sorry for rambling… And, again – yes, Poe… beloved, tragic Poe… that poem is pure music….
Supernarttu, that poem by Henley is probably my favourite. Whenever I feel down or weak (it happens) I think of Invictus (you can hear me mumbling it) and it always reminds me of the energy that lives in my soul, and I feel better. Instant magic. ).
Karen and Bevie, I’m so happy to have been able to move you with these words… these poets were/are true masters…
elenaM, perhaps you should take those poetry books out again? I bet you’ll have fun re-discovering some…
anene, sweet… well, the great thing is, poems can be read again and again and again, hehehe….
Sablegreen, I’m happy you loved the poems and caps… The great thing about composing an article like this (and the credit goes to the poets, here, I only put it together) is – I’m allowed to insert pics I personally love… Writing for this site does have a lot of perks…
Thanks, y’all (getting better with the Southern accent),
Jas
