Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbour life.
- Carl Sagan

A tiny ripple in this vast world. Some say one individual, one ripple, one choice are so small and insignificant. Look close this tiny ripple extends outward, it touches, echos and reaches places unseen. This one ripple, individual, or choice, is very significant to our world it moves outward touching the unknown.

"And I have such desire to find the signification of this thing that I would not by my good will turn back for the richest jewel in all Narnia and all the islands."

As Harriet followed Miss Lydgate across the lawn, she was visited by an enormous nostalgia. If only one could come back to this quiet place, where only intellectual achievement counted; if one could work here steadily and obscurely at some close-knit piece of reasoning, undistracted and uncorrupted by agents, contracts, publishers, blurb-writers, interviewers, fan-mail, autograph-hunters, notoriety-hunters, and competitors; abolishing personal contacts, personal spites, personal jealousies; getting one's teeth into something dull and durable; maturing into solidity like the Shrewsbury beeches - then, one might be able to forget the wreck and chaos of the past, or see it, at any rate, in a truer proportion. Because, in a sense, it was not important. The fact that one had loved and sinned and suffered and escaped death was of far less ultimate moment than a single footnote in a dim academic journal establishing the priority of a manuscript or restoring a lost iota subscript.
Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

Sicilian Cyclamens
DH Lawrence
When he pushed his bush of black hair off his brow: When she lifted her mop from her eyes, and screwed it            in a knob behind            —O act of fearful temerity! When they felt their foreheads bare, naked to heaven,            their eyes revealed: When they left the light of heaven brandished like a knife at            their defenceless eyes And the sea like a blade at their face, Mediterranean savages: When they came out, face-revealed, under heaven, from            the shaggy undergrowth of their own hair For the first time, They saw tiny rose cyclamens between their toes, growing Where the slow toads sat brooding on the past.
Slow toads, and cyclamen leaves Stickily glistening with eternal shadow Keeping to earth. Cyclamen leaves Toad-filmy, earth-iridescent Beautiful Frost-filigreed Spumed with mud Snail-nacreous Low down.
The shaking aspect of the sea And man’s defenceless bare face And cyclamens putting their ears back.
Long, pensive, slim-muzzled greyhound buds Dreamy, not yet present, Drawn out of earth At his toes.
Dawn-rose Sub-delighted, stone engendered Cyclamens, young cyclamens Arching Waking, pricking their ears Like delicate very-young greyhound bitches Half-yawning at the open, inexperienced Vistas of day, Folding back their soundless petalled ears.
Greyhound bitches Bending their rosy muzzles pensive down, And breathing soft, unwilling to wake to the new day Yet sub-delighted.
Ah Mediterranean morning, when our world began! Far-off Mediterranean mornings, Pelasgic faces uncovered And unbudding cyclamens.
The hare suddenly goes uphill Laying back her long ears with unwinking bliss.
And up the pallid, sea-blenched Mediterranean stone-slopes Rose cyclamen, ecstatic fore-runner! Cyclamens, ruddy-muzzled cyclamens In little bunches like bunches of wild hares Muzzles together, ears-aprick
Whispering witchcraft Like women at a well, the dawn-fountain.
Greece, and the world’s morning While all the Parthenon marbles still fostered the roots of the cyclamen. Violets Pagan, rosy-muzzled violets Autumnal Dawn-pink, Dawn-pale Among squat toad-leaves sprinkling the unborn Erechtheion marbles.
                                                                                                    Taormina

People who romanticize Lolita are so bizarre, like they mask that obsession by deeming it “coquette” aesthetic. “For the literary significance”… yeah sure. “It’s told from the abusers point of view so-”… I don’t wanna hear it.✋

i got to see how your face lit up when you caught sight of me and i never want to forget that smile. i want to keep replaying it until it’s ingrained in my mind yet it’s already starting to fade away. i didn’t know i could have that effect on people. i guess i’m more to you than i thought. i’m grateful i’m able to make you feel that way. you make it hard not to love you.

waiting for a train to come by is definitely an experience
i like seeing the graffiti on the sides of trains
someone someday decided to leave their mark and moved on from it
who knows if they ever saw it again
or if they know it's still there
they just wanted to leave their mark because it's human
i want to leave that sort of mark on all the people i know
because when i'm not there, they still will have memories of me.
