Comments From An Appreciative Reader

The Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius began his classic work, the Meditations, by thanking everyone that had taught him something that had helped him to grow as a person. I too must begin this my writing in a similar way by thanking Taylor Manchild. He has taught me to appreciate fine music in much the same way that Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. Through his skilled tutelage I have learned much. The philosopher Plato instructed his students in what is called the Theory of Forms. This theory is that a material object is only an imperfect reflection of a perfect immaterial form. This theory can be seen concretely in music. The pop music played today is but a poor reflection of a perfect song, and this perfect song my friends was written by Taylor Swift. This song is as beautiful as the night sky. Each word is like a shining star and every phrase is a galaxy. As the people of ancient times looked into the sky and were amazed by what they saw, so too can we look into what Taylor has written and discover new things about ourselves. Each time we hear a song that she has written we are reminded of the struggle between good and evil, hope and despair. Many secrets are contained within her writings and we must seek them out. This journey is not an easy one nor is it brief. It shall last throughout our lives and only with great toil and hardship will we grasp the knowledge that she is attempting to convey.
