“ ..The sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea.. ”
- Virginia Woolf “To the Lighthouse” 1927
I’m so sorry that I haven’t been able to post lately, but I’ve just been very busy. For the last two weeks, I’ve had a summer course at a *certain British university*, and now I’m in Italy to visit my family and friends (while also taking French classes in the mornings). Between all that and the insane heat in Europe, I’ve been completely exhausted every night. I’ll try to post more, darlings (aka the two people who like my posts)!
Midnight parties in Wimbledon
Sketches of Julius Caesar on idle sheets of paper
Football games in Wales when it’s nearing dusk
Academic trips to South Africa in Spring
Sunsets from Roedean, on Brighton’s coast
Family pictures in front of Rad Cam in Oxford
Sushi dinners and British accents
and boys in black blazers
and evening walks to Grantchester
and Warwick in the summer months and taking pictures of the sun
and hair waving with the onslaught of wind on sunny shores
and Mediterranean villages on the sea
and 4AM strolls in Kensington and Leicester
and dinner dates in Porto Torres
and running through palm-ridden forests
and reading Dead Poets Society and the Secret History in dark corners of rooms with oak wainscoting
and Alexander in Eton tails
and-
To live so much
That I die
When I see you
The feminine urge to mess up your whole sleep cycle to read books.
It's always: "wanna hang out" but never "hey let's create a secret society and read literature and poetry"
That’s it, the Professor is truly the King of Sass
you have a place in my heart no one else ever could have 🍃
F. Scott Fitzgerald
