“darkness in which there was not even the pain of hope to make present distress more poignant”

entirely personal and devoid of importance to the story but i am quite jubilant at the importance of my birthday within the context of the events that took place on that day in this book

like 10 pages and 4 different povs (reference: its unusual for it to be so vast)

“As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean”

The ship the count sails in is called “Demeter” conjoining more of my interests like opposite teardrops merging halfway

Dracula is very much Hades coded now that i think about it

and Mina Harker - Persephone

no idea how the connection has never crossed my mind

You English have a saying which is close to my heart, for its spirit is that which rules our boyars: "Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest."

4 years or so later, still i feel this books phantom presence on my soul. Mostly Minas. I miss Mina.

Really curious about how il feel about this after so long,
