My Interests |
|
| "And the mealy worms,
in the brine will burn,
in a salty pyre,
among the fauns and ferns.
And the love we hold, and the love we spurn, will never grow cold, only taciturn."-Joanna Newsom "I swear I have nothing to prove, I just want to dance in your tangles, to give me some reason to move, "-NMH "Art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself more artistic"-Oscar Wilde "No-one can harness the rain, And I can make myself into rain, You feel me on your cheek, And on your sleeve."-The Long Winters |
