“When people ask me what Emily Dickinson poems are about, I want to run away and hide, simply because for me, some poems are not about the ‘about’. They are metaphysical spells that you hold close and don’t really want to elaborate on. They help you to go on when you have nothing else left to go on with, the kind of poems you remember even when you don’t want to remember them.”

— Ilya Kaminsky, before reading ‘hope is the thing with feathers’ (via juliens-bakery)

Just got back from a couple days in Paris which was so lovely. I went to Gaâla to fit dresses, shopped for fabrics and feasted on oysters and foie gras and more… 💖

Hi, how are you? Hope you're doing okay.

Thank you <3 i’m really well actually. never felt so sheltered and at home in the world, every day i’m oozing with peace and joy and thankfulness. quite a daze, somehow time feels like a second and eternity at the same time…. i’m doing so, so swell.

(but I’ve missed it here, miss everyone and i’ll get back to any and all messages soon— so sorry!)
