[image description: a section “an oresteia”, translated by anne carson. the text is as follows, “orestes- the ghastly goddesses—they’ll send my wits astray. / pylades- i’ll take care of you. / orestes- it’s rotten work. / pylades- not to me. not if it’s you. / orestes- beware the contagion of maddness. / pylades- come now. / orestes- you won’t shrink back? / pylades- a friend does not shrink back. / orestes- then let’s go. / pylades- let’s go.” end description.]

the girlies need to enjoy the surrounding lines of tumblrfavorite quote ‘its rotten work’……
