Cinderella meets Dream
NYCC commission by the same gentleman who has so far collected Belle & Destiny and Snow White & Death.
This is just so good. So very good.

Athos sat upon the moss and the heather of the promontory. Around their heads flew large bats, carried along in the fearful whirl of their blind chase. Raoul’s feet were dangling over the edge of the cliff, and bathed in that void which causes vertigo. When the moon had risen to its full height, creasing with its light the neighboring peaks, when the watery mirror was lighted up in its full extent, and the little red fires had made their openings in the black masses of every ship, Athos collected all his thoughts and all his courage, and said:
‘God has made all that we see, Raoul. He has made us also – poor atoms mixed up with this great universe. We shine like those fires and those stars; we sigh like those waves; we suffer like those great ships, which endlessly plow the waves, in obeying the wind which urges them toward a goal, as the breath of God blows us toward a port. Everything likes to live, Raoul, and everything is beautiful in living things.’
Alexandre Dumas, père, The Man in the Iron Mask (via kissandweep)
