🧺🌻💗🍯 wishing you a very 18th-19 century novels kind of spring🍦🎀🌿🌤️

Mad Girl’s Love Song by Sylvia Plath I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.) The stars go waltzing out in blue and red, And arbitrary blackness gallops in: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.) God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade: Exit seraphim and Satan's men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

“Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love's tragedies." — The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

"An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.” — The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

“I can't help detesting my relations. I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves.” — The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

"Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.” — The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
