first read of may — a cup of sake beneath the cherry trees by yoshida kenkō

moonlight, sake, spring blossom, idle moments, a woman's hair. 'a cup of sake beneath the cherry trees' is a collection of fragments from the journal of a 13th-century monk, as he reflects on the pleasures of life and its passing moments. i think there's something in here for everyone to admire, with its reflective themes, philosophical undertones, and beautiful writing and imagery.

i definitely recommend!! 🌱

Case in point: Louis XIV in his ancient Rome cosplay:

(which honestly, understandable. If I had the resources, I'd do the same. Give me the Roman soldier uniform, the Shield of Perseus, the Nemean Lion Helmet!! I'll pull it off I swear!)

The Odyssey: otherwise known as “Odysseus and His Opps” or “Odysseus and the very bad no good horrible boat trip” or if you will, “Poseidon gets Pretty Mad at Local King of Ithaca”

"Blorbo from my shows" no. Blorbo from my BA. Blorbo from my major. Blorbo from my primary source document.

In the native dialect of Lesbos, Sappho's name is spelled "Psappho". I sometimes picture what it would have been like if that had been the spelling modern English had gone with. Imagine being psapphic.
