mitford: it’s best to let flowers do the talking they say write below your century to understand it they say crying in private helps no one they say an asterisk is the footnote to a lie they say never use “permanent” in a sentence containing a noun they say if dancing is prohibited LEAVE at once — CAConrad To live (& die) by.

There’s a string of thoughts I have a lot of the time and it goes more or less as follows: What if I bought a log book and became captain of my moods, captain of the M.S. Unjustified Emotion? And then what if I measured time differently, like how sea miles differ from what I still think of as kilometres, what if I blurred the line between two days, would that make me better? Would that help?...

Love Poem
When you fall in love, you jockey your horse into the flaming barn. You hire a cabin on the shiny Titanic. You tease the black bear. Reading the Monitor, you scan the obituaries looking for your name. Donald Hall

hermessybraids asked: Hello Vera, it was raining today in History - the soft sleep-walking kind of rain, and it made me think of of you instantly so I wrote it down on my planner so I wouldn't forget to tell you, I guess these things are sort of important to remember. I hope you're well and light. x

nocternity: don’t think I have a body anymore but a house of cards, will find anything a good reason to crumble, henceforth. there are late violets blooming on my legs, ashes in my inner pocket from a cigarette I refused to forget. one of those that go on burning forever. missing V. often feels like post-apple sticky hands, loud coughing or bad thin coffee, I don’t know, ‘wish I could be with...

“Any of you ladies fancy a biscuit? Can I interest you in a bourbon?” this is a manifest to my being forever in love with just the idea of things, please make me sadder because I fell in love with how green sadness looks on and out of me  this is a manifest to green as my favourite colour

Anonymous asked: Dear, dear Vera. Pretentious, chain-smoking intellectuals are not at all what they seem. I tried belonging there, but I found they judge more than anyone. I'm not sure if I could bear their intolerance for much longer. In fact, I'm leaving this anonymously because I'm scared they will hunt me down.
