is him begging her not to come back as a ghost

“You know I’ve been running all this time

Sprinting my way past your bedroom

Lifting the weight of you off my mind

Cause if I never see you again

You can be anything I want

Teaching me how the thing runs

Hello tumblr! After over a year of making this account, I’m finally posting some art :)

Happy 250th Birthday Jane Austen!

It was at this desk, in the cottage which her brother had procured for her, that she wove intricate story threads that ensure her novels are endlessly readable and timeless... hence why they are still being enjoyed and discussed after so much time has elapsed.

Although, in so many ways, she remains an enigma, with so little facts known about her life... we all feel like we 'know' her and have an idea of who Jane Austen is in our heads. That speaks volumes about her talent.

Our world is barely recognisable to the one she inhabited, but Jane Austen captured the fundamental essence of human nature in the writing she managed over the course of her tragically short life, and that is why we continue to delight in her works. In that sense, she lives forever.

Happy 250th Birthday, Jane. Thank you for all of the delight you've brought to successive generations of readers from all walks of life. I cannot imagine my life without your novels... and I'm certainly glad that I don't have to!
