Maybe if I just work harder, this empty cup will pour again

Maybe the cup needs a bit of time to rest and refill?

“I know that if women wish to escape the stigma of husband-seeking, they must act and look like marble or clay - cold, expressionless, bloodless; for every appearance of feeling, of joy, sorrow, friendliness, antipathy, admiration, disgust, are alike construed by the world into the attempt to hook a husband. Never mind! well-meaning women have their own consciences to comfort them after all. Do not, therefore, be too much afraid of showing yourself as you are, affectionate and good-heartened; do not too harshly repress sentiments and feelings excellent in themselves, because you fear that some puppy may fancy that you are letting them come out to fascinate him; do not condemn yourself to live only by halves, because if you showed too much animation some pragmatical thing in breeches might take it into his pate to imagine that you designed to dedicate your life to his inanity.”

— Charlotte Brontë writing to a friend who had been kind to a man she thought was married, only to have him fall in love with her because he thought she was flirting (letter dated April 2, 1845).

i love you fuzzy old opera albums that sound like they were recorded through three layers of shetland wool. i love you opera recordings where you can hear the footfall of the singer's blocking before they sing and it's like the sheer power of their throat is straining up and away through the muffled file quality. i love you opera recordings where you can hear the soft tidal roar of an entire audience shouting "brava" after a stirring aria. the vastness of the score and the voice that sings it and the venue, all tinny and soft -- and now i'm hearing it! me in my little room, and in my head the spacious stage with its paper snowdrifts. its audience with starched collars and mothball pantsuits. with me! while i knit legwarmers

LA FÉE MÉLUSINE ET LE CHEVALIER RAYMONDIN (1894)

A fantastic and unique sculpture made in 1894 by Jean Dampt after a well known medieval love story, and acquired shortly after by the notorious collector Martine de Béhague. Currently exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon
