All girls should have a poem
written for them even if
we have to turn this Goddamn world
upside down to do it.

-Richard Brautigan

I agree. Utterly.

In other news, I had a small Dan interlude today. :) What can I say?  The boy is just too cute. (and no for you dirty-minded tramps, I don't mean a physical interlude-we're just friends, for heavens' ( Read more... )

"My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light."

And I was re-reading this article on Virginia Woolf 's famous classic Mrs. Dalloway, which was one of the most incredible and breathtaking books that I've ever read-I ( Read more... )

This Is My Letter To The World

W.B Yeats is another of my favorite poets, mainly because of how devastatingly beautiful his love poetry is and how lyrical the images that he creates with his words are. His story is less romantic than that of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, but not by much-he had one self-confessed great love throughout his life, but she married another ( Read more... )

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
