my responses to messages aren’t posting for some reason, I’m sorry to everyone whose sent me one!

"After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live..."

“After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.”

- Mark Twain, The Diaries of Adam & Eve

"CHORUS : Why are you so in love withthings unbearable?"

“CHORUS : Why are you so in love with

things unbearable?”

- Sophokles, Elektra (tr. by Anne Carson)

"A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty."

“A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty.”

- Joan Didion, The Year Of Magical Thinking  (via ablogwithaview)

"III.It’s not you. It’s whatI’ll do to you. And I can see iteven now, even clutchingat the air..."

“

III.

It’s not you. It’s what

I’ll do to you. And I can see it

even now, even clutching

at the air around your body, trying

to bring you closer. Once you get

deep enough so that water

swallows light, there are fish

who dangle iridescent lures

before their toothed mouths.

Now listen closely, darling.

Now follow my voice in the dark.

It’s not me. It’s the way

you’ll open for me, your mouth,

your legs, your raw

meat heart.

”

- Ali Shapiro, “Anglers” (via theyvcreation)

I went to the museum of Modern Art today and this installation was just outside and it took my breath away

hey guys you’re more likely to reach me and get a response if you send me an instant message...

hey guys you’re more likely to reach me and get a response if you send me an instant message instead of the normal kind because I’ve got loads of built up messages and don’t look at them as often ♥️

In your semi-absence, do you think you could recommend some good similar blogs? Not blogs that post their own poetry necessarily, but blogs that reblog/post some cool/contempary/heartbreaking poetry and quotes?
