“The Angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is Risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

The Gospel according to St. ‭‭Matthew‬, 28‬:‭5‬-‭6‬

‬‬As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:19‭-‬20‬ ‭NKJV

“The autumn and winter winds and the lashing rainstorms and the very cold of those seasons, for all their barbarism, were of a spleen that voiced the heart. Their passions were allied to human passions — their cries to human cries.”

- Titus Groan, “In Preparation for Violence”, Mervyn Peake.

Nec successum victoriae moderatus est, sed capite Bruti Romam misso, ut statuae Caesaris subiceretur.

'And now [Augustus], intoxicated with success, sent the head of Brutus to be cast at the foot of Caesar’s statue.'

I was tagged by @franceskaromana. Thank you!

Last song:

Currently watching: The world burn (but also desperately awaiting the next season of Die Kaiserin).

Currently reading: I'm kinda inbetween books, reading bits and pieces here and there. Last few things I have picked up and opened are The Odyssey, a compilation of Seneca's moral letters, and Finnegans Wake.

Current obsession: Mandarin Chinese, especially the writing and calligraphy. Rome (again), but especially the unmatched drama and character of Gaius Iulius Caesar. And Commander.

Currently working on: Keeping my mouth shut. And trying to learn the Lord's Prayer by heart in Mandarin.

Last Google search: "Does summoning sickness effect non-tap creature abilities."

Favorite flower: Right now I am in love with Chicory, but I am also very fond of Morning Glories

““Lord, I believe; help my unbelief’… is the most natural and most human and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the foundation prayer of faith.””
