sing me something sweet and sad for all the damned
Izbit. 18. I like pretty things, overpriced food, and secondhand clothing. Music is my universe. So is the internet. If you want to check out my fandom (read: Glee) blog or just need someone to talk to, send me a message.
(Death of) Chatterton by Henry Wallis I saw this painting in the National Gallery of Art yesterday and it was beautiful. I went with my creative writing class, and we were assigned ekphrases. This is the poem that I wrote on it. Pale sleeps on pale and the city awake. Sea shapes his body and amber his hair, no life for the lovely, no fame for the fair. A hundred torn pieces, a thousand cold words, the drape of the limb and the light of the world. No light falls on thee, Thomas, no sun for the young. Your riddles lay cluttered, your story unsung. With you in your youth and still you in your grave, Apollo is watching you, sweet drugged slave. Fret not in your dreamstate, pray heaven awaits, full lovely, my angel, your words spelt your fate. 
jaded-mandarin: Castagno. Detail from Queen Tomyris, 15th Century. Tomyris was a Queen who reigned over the Massagetae, a pastoral-nomadic Iranic people of Central Asia, East of the Caspian Sea, in approximately 530 BC. It is recorded that she defeated and killed the Persian emperor Cyrus the Great during his invasion and attempted conquest of her country. Cyrus was killed and Tomyris had his corpse beheaded and then crucified, and shoved his head into a wineskin filled with human blood. She was reportedly quoted as saying, “I warned you that I would quench your thirst for blood, and so I shall”.
