"Love is, to be loved," said Alexander, "in return."
-The Bronze Horseman
Spędzasz ze sobą całe dnie, a mimo jesteś osoba, którą najmniej znasz i rozumiesz. Wiesz wszystko o planetach krążących wokół Słońca, ale zapytana, dokąd wyruszysz za pięć minut, nie nasz odpowiedzi.
~Paullina Simons:"Pieśń o poranku"
🌹 Alexander & Tatiana 🌹
“when Tatiana looked up from her ice cream, she saw a soldier staring at her from across the street…”
Anthony Alexander Barrington / Alexander Belov
“I want you to know that should something happen to me, don’t worry about my body. My soul isn’t going to return to it, nor to God. It’s flying straight to you, where it knows it can find you, in Lazarevo. I want to be neither with kings nor heroes, but with the queen of Lake Ilmen.”
– Alexander Barrington
Tatiana Metanova
“Ask yourself these three questions, Tatiana Metanova, and you will know who you are. Ask: what do you believe in? What do you hope for? But most important - ask: what do you love?” ... “I know who I am,” she thought, taking his hand and turning to the altar. “I am Tatiana. And I believe in, and hope for, and love Alexander for life.”
– Tatiana Metanova
Tatiana: I found my true love on Ulita Saltykov-Schedrin, while I sat on a bench eating ice cream.
Alexander: You didn't find me. You weren't even looking for me. I found you.
Long pause.
Tatiana: Alexander, were you ... looking for me?
Alexander: All my life.
🌹THE BRONZE HORSEMAN TRILOGY🌹
"Tatiana sprang into his open arms, and Alexander, lifting her off her feet with the force of his embrace, couldn’t hug her tight enough, couldn’t breathe in enough of her. She flung her arms around his neck, burying her face in his bearded cheek. Dry sobs racked her entire body."
International Hug Day
“Voleva solo riflettere:
per un minuto, un’ora, un anno.
Aveva bisogno di pensare
per sfuggire a quello
che provava”
— Paullina Simons, Il cavaliere d’inverno
I'm 1/3 of the way through The Bronze Horseman and I'm so fucking mad I could throw my phone out the window.
Somebody who has read this monstrosity tell me it gets less infuriating. Does he ever stop fucking her sister right in goddamn front of her? I'd poison his pirozhki 😤
