“To sit and breathe behind my screen, alone, is enough; to be strong, content; to feel no one’s thinking of me, to feel I have done certain things and can be quiet now, to be mistress of my hours; to feel detached from all sayings about me; and claims on me;”

— Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry written c. July 1932 featured in “The Diaries of Virginia Woolf,” (edited)

Tom Waits by Scott Smith

[ducissatenebrarum]

The story of a marble worker Evrard Flignot from Brussels who devastated by the death of his wife built a pretty mausoleum for her in Cimetière de Laeken.

At first look inside, there is a mourner reaching out to an empty wall. But, once a year, on the day of the summer solstice, the Sun draws a light that recalls this love for almost a century.
