Heartbroken-bacchus - I Miss Those Good Old Boys

from Bhanu Kapil’s The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers

Lady Elisabeth Kemper, Spiral, 1816 - 1852

The city is very efficient at chewing things up and picking meat off the bones.

wishing you a safe return back to yourself

I’m around all the time and you don’t even mourn me. I lived a life of silent contemplation. There’s a voice calling me to take vows.

“My real self wanders elsewhere, far away, wanders on and on invisibly and has nothing to do with my life.”

— Hermann Hesse  (via lavandula)
