⋆. 𐙚˚࿔ Hi 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Honestly, I’m a painfully shy person and I’m hoping to use this as a space to share my thoughts, my daydreams and random bits of writing and reblog stuff I find really pretty. I don’t know, just making it up as I go along at this point

Possibly NSFW?

“Always, there is the quest of the heart’s desire, always the unobtainable, the lure that beckons across the deserts of life to those who watch.”

“For Gawain was as good as the purest gold-

Devoid of vices but virtuous, loyal

And kind,

So bore that badge on both

His shawl and shield alike.

A prince who talked the truth.

A notable. A knight”

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

As retold and translated by Simon Armitage

Sonnet 10

For shame! deny that thou bear’st love to any,

Who for thyself art so unprovident.

Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many,

But that thou none lovest is most evident;

For thou art so possessed with murderous hate,

That ‘gainst thyself thou stick’st not to conspire.

Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate,

Which to repair should be thy chief desire.

O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind!

Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love?

Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind,

Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove:

Make thee another self, for love of me,

That beauty still may live in thine or thee

Side note: I genuinely love this sonnet more than any within the Fair Youth sequence, somehow it beats Sonnet 116 ("Let me not to the marriage of true minds"). In the simplest of terms imagine being told off, rebuked even for just not having children. The implication that in not having children his lover is sabotaging himself and being foolish in not planning for the future is just so funny to me. I think the whole procreation section (sonnets 1 - 17) just amuses me, boiled down in a nutshell we have 17 sonnets all saying “you’re beautiful, please have children, please, get a wife and have children, children are great for passing down legacies and beauty…truth and beauty will die with you if you don’t have children, have you considered that not having children is selfish and a moral failure? If you loved me you’d have children” I know it’s deeper than that and there are some interesting views and arguments to be dissected better but i haven’t got time for that

Okay hear me out, what if we fall in love and have a mutual and passionate obsession for roughly 60-70 years, die together and get buried side by side?

And as the seasons and ages pass by our moss covered headstones lean closer together?
