Just some Thoughts on being nineteen

Lorde, perfect places / portrait of a nineteen year old woman, 1548 (I like how young her face looks and how pale in comparison to the dark background) / fragment of my own dumb poetry / Radclyffe Hall, The Well of Loneliness / portrait of a nineteen year old woman (I like how tightly she clutches her rosary beads) / Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

can i just say that this growing trend of posts that compile quotes/artwork that are related in topic matter, is so so glorious. i love the mismatched font styles of the screenshots, i love how art in general, over various mediums, gravitates towards certain themes and i don’t know how to word this but i love seeing the impact of the personality/style of different artists on those themes… like having light shone on something and depending on ur position it looks different, is similar to the way different artists/writers/etc’s work hits u slightly differently even when talking about the same thing… does that make sense idk but like it’s a clear representation of how there’ll never be ‘enough’ art or ‘too much’ art and that’s so. wonderful i think

you know in films where a character’s reading a book in a library or bookshop or something? and their s/o sees and comes up behind them? and they do the thing where they hug them from behind, put their head in the crook of the other person’s neck, kiss their cheek and join them with reading the book????? yeah that’s love
