Raised on a diet of broken biscuits

By day: academic library monkey. By night: person who makes things and reads when she should be studying.

I use this place as a trivial kind of commonplace book, to collect things which interest/edify/amuse or attract me, along with some journalish musings.

Alla Nazimova & Rudolph Valentino in Camille (1921, dir. Ray Smallwood). Apparently, anti-lawyer jokes have been around a lot longer than I thought.

And did you get what
you wanted from this life even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
Raymond Carver (via awritersruminations)

Psyché ranimée par le baiser de l’Amour, Antonio Canova (1793), Le Louvre, Paris 2007

(via Baloulumix)

We disagree to disagree, we divide, we differ;
Yet each night as I lie in bed beside you
And you are faraway curled up in sleep
I array the moonlit ceiling with a mosaic of question-marks;
How was it I was so lucky to have ever met you?
I am no brave pagan proud of my mortality
Yet gladly on this changeling earth I should live for ever
If it were with you, my sleeping friend.
I have my troubles, and I shall always have them
But I would rather live with you for ever
Than exchange my troubles for a changeless kingdom.
But I do not put you on a pedestal or throne;
You must have your faults but I do not see them.
If it were with you, I should live for ever.

Love is a wound within the body
That has no outward sign.
