ISTP gay mess. She/Her Majesty. Let's talk about literature, be pretentious, and drink whiskey.
One day, perhaps some idle tongue
mentions your name by accident:
I feel as if a rose were flung
into the room, all hue and scent.
Wisława Szymborska, from “Nothing Twice”

Learning modern languages: Hello! How are you? My name is Josh. I am happy today. Where is the bathroom please?

Learning ancient languages: Life is long and unbearably hard. Each day barbarians slaughter another member of my family. Pirates, sailing swiftly across the wine-dark sea, have kidnapped my sister and stolen our grain. We are starving. Oh immortal gods! Soon we all will die.

Sitting here cross-legged,
lucid as a God,
I light a cigarette.
Liu Xia, tr. by Jennifer Stern and Ming Di, from “Game for Myself,” (via okayodysseus)
She thought she was independent and strong, but she got one small taste of love and she was hungrier than anyone.
Ann Brashares
