"She would not forgive me… I like her for that!”

    Nothing's been recently so sublime as the second chapter of  the epilogue to The Brothers Karamazov, "For a Moment the Lie Becomes Truth". (Because shouldn't this be a general rule? The great and saving lies ought to, at some crucial point, become irrevokable truth, if only for a single conversation.)

Dear _______, just passing to say: still focusing my binoculars on your blog from across the fog of my messy life. And seeing a rather handsome object. :) Good day!

[greentea_fairy]

Oh ____, thank you! I enjoy peering into yours as well, over the steam of teapots and hot baths--can never express my admiration but it's all lovely, really.

I've had that written on a post-it and taped to my wall for years now, how odd. All lies have managed to become truth for me so far, if I focused on them long enough. For some reason, that kinda scares me.

[greentea_fairy]

I wonder if everything starts as a lie and only becomes truth if we decide to make it one. Yes, yes, it's frightening.

We'll strive for that pinnacle of liquid eyeliner perfection, promise. And how odd, of course, I was thinking just that when looking at this set of photos.

I sent your letter the other day but it came back to me--insufficient postage for weight. I guess words are getting heavier--inflation?

I love that quote, at the bottom, I've never heard that before. I might save it for something nice.

[greentea_fairy]

No, not yet! I have it on my desk, and I suppose I'll tackle it as soon as it starts snowing.. seems fitting.

sorry ha I took out the part about anna karenina when I remember that was tolstoy not dostoevsky... but yeah it's a very lovely and soothing book. I read parts of it when I feel especially crazy.
