Black Sails + Mythology.

“He still asks about you, you know.” She gets a pang of longing and hurt in her chest. “I know.” She whispers “Do you ever think about getting in contact again?” She’s silent for a moment. “I would love nothing more than to run to him.” She says, smiling, thinking back to him. “But so much happened. So much hurt. I was broken after it ended. I can’t risk having to say goodbye again, it destroyed me for a long time. So would I want to? I would love nothing more. Will I? No.”

I saw your eyes In the sunrise I lost you again In my favorite sunset

k.m (via fluohrine)

That moment when you have to take a deep breath before speaking cause you know you’re so close to crying.

Hangover Square. Patrick Hamilton. New York: Random House, 1942. First American edition. Original dust jacket.

“This girl wore her attractiveness not as a girl should, simply, consciously, as a happy crown of pleasure, but rather as a murderous utensil with which she might wound indiscriminately right and left, and which she would only employ to please when it suited her purpose. They were like bad-tempered street-walkers, without walking the street.”

Carmen (Stage) (1938). Everett Shinn (American, 1876-1953). Oil on canvas laid down on panel.

Shinn’s compositions and perspectives were varied, somewhat like Degas. Here, Carmen dances away from the other performers to what appears to be an outdoors stage. It is far from clear where the audience is located or, indeed, if there is an audience.

When Mankind Was Young. F. Britten Austin. Garden City, New York: Doubleday, Page and Co. 1927. First edition. Original dust jacket. 

Collection of linked stories set in prehistoric times. “Druid rite when a human sacrifice was made, or at the festival where the fairest pair of lovers was offered to the savage god in the Spring to insure bountiful crops.”
