Käthe Kollwitz (German, 1867 - 1945): Death with his wife in his lap (via Dorotheum)

maybe if you bundled yourself up and went for a walk out in the cold then came back inside with rosy cheeks and cool skin and warmed yourself up with a nice warm cup of herbal tea with honey maybe then you’d calm down

“Bajun Cat” by Ivan Kovalevsky.

Bajun cat is a huge magical talking cat of Russian tales. He is famous for lulling unfortunate people with his mesmerizing singing, and then killing them with his iron claws. 

A hero can tame the cat with the help of the iron hat and the iron gloves. In this case, Bajun becomes a loyal friend who can heal wounds with his purring and is able to get rid of other people’s nightmares.

If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

- C.S. Lewis
