battle hymn of the tiger cub

when you were young you were the king of carrot flowers and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees in holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet and your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder and your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor as we would lay and learn what each others bodies were for and this is the room one afternoon i knew i could love you and from above you how i sank into your soul into that secret place where no one dares to go and your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking and dad would dream about the different ways to die each one a little more than he could dare to try

carnal knowledge

craving raw angry sex right now that leaves me feeling shameful and wanting more later, why do these impulses occur at the most inopportune of times

Martha Mattox in The Cat and the Canary (1927, dir. Paul Leni) (via)

“I have tried to create sets so stylized that they evince no reality…It is not extreme reality that the camera perceives, but the reality of the inner event, which is more profound, effective and moving than what we see through everyday eyes.”

-Paul Leni, Kinematograph (1924)

"I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."
