You may be forgiven for thinking the Tocharians were an uncreative people. What scant literature survives is almost entirely sectarian, and almost entirely in translation. Buddhist sutras, hymns, dramas, all from India. But one. One unique creation, one original work: a love poem

Enemies all around is classic European fatalism with the struggle never optional arc, Iโve thought the same about ring poetry too, it hits the same nerve with the โbeginning tells the endโ structure. You fight anyway, because thatโs what makes it our story

I just want indestructible super civilians who are beautiful and donโt envy. Who are intelligent, with good taste and magnanimity in all they think and do. Who will bring the highest goods to this world. Is that so unreasonable?
