I had not a dispute but a disquisition, with Dilke on various subjects; several things dove-tailed in my mind, and at once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason-Coleridge, for instance, would let go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the Penetralium of mystery, from being incapable of remaining content with half-knowledge. This pursued through volumes would perhaps take us no further than this, that with a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration. -
John KeatsThis is a month-long games-creation event. No officials favourites or winners, and I'll arrange for all the entries to be neatly shown on a page together at the end.
So, to submit your entry, or to keep us up to date on how it's getting along, or to get feedback, just post a thread in the 'games' forum, prefacing it with 'Negative Capability' ( "Negative Capability - Collect only fifty sheeps" , say).
When you're done, change the post title to "Negative Capability - XXX - DONE", and modify the first post to contain links to somewhere where the works can be downloaded/played.
So, deadline is on May the 16th
All clear?
