objective correlative

sometimes i feel like my life lacks an objective correlative.

*Objective Correlative - "The only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an "objective correlative"; in other words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion; such that when the external facts, which must terminate in sensory experience, are given, the emotion is immediately evoked."
~T.S. Eliot.

wow, i'm such an english nerd. this is what happens to me during finals week.
