current obsessions

Death and the Maiden.

“nicasia’s wrong about me. i don’t desire to do as well in the tournament as one of the fey. i want to win. i do not yearn to be their equal. in my heart, i year to best them.”

For the elemental creatures go

About my table to and fro,

That hurry from unmeasured mind

To rant and rage in flood and wind;

Yet he who treads in measured ways

May surely barter gaze for gaze.

Man ever journeys on with them

After the red-rose-bordered hem.

Ah, faeries, dancing under the moon,

A Druid land, a Druid tune!

To Ireland in the Coming Times

That is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way

“I suddenly realized that we were on borrowed time, that time is always borrowed, and that the lending agency exacts its premium precisely when we are least prepared to pay and need to borrow more.” - Call me by your name - Andre Aciman
