This Great Damned Night

"...God made the world just as much for me as anyone else." – Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

🌙 Welcome to My Blog 🌙

My name is Z.

I love many things, including the 1920s, the 19th century, the 20th century, classic novels, art, fashion, history, and much more. On my blog you’ll find a variety of content, so don’t feel pressured to follow me if only some of my content appeals to you; reblogging is just fine, too.

I reblog often and, when I have the time, post my own finds. Unless stated otherwise, the images I post are not mine.
