“…forgive me Darling, for every word I say — my heart is full of you, none other than you in my thoughts, yet when I seek to say to you something not for the world, words fail me. If you were here — and Oh that you were, we need not talk at all, our eyes would whisper for us, and your hand fast in mine, we would not ask for language —”

— Emily Dickinson, in a letter to Susan Gilbert (Dickinson), 11 June 1852

The Jewish bride in Talmudic times was veiled and elaborately crowned, her hair arranged and covered. Symbolically set apart and consecrated, she may be seen as corresponding to the sacrificial victim, whose status as sanctified and set apart from the flux of the profane is also marked by covering its head. Greeks wreathe and garland the heads of both brides and sacrificial victims; Jews cover the heads of their brides and lay hands on the heads of their sacrificial animals.

could u imagine if ppl talked about catholicism the same way they talked about like… indigenous ppl’s religions….

#that's how they talked about christians historically though! #there was lots of accusations of cannibalism etc. when christianity was first becoming a movement

Another one of my incredibly unpopular anti-lit tungl opinions is that Her Body And Other Parties wasn’t actually that great but I DID find a copy in the basement somehow (my house is kind of a vortex that sucks books into itself against all logical explanation) so I’m willing to try it again
