"Sentimentality, the parading of excessive & spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty. The wet eyes of the sentimentalist betray aversion to experience, fear of life, an arid heart; & it is always, therefore, the signal of secret & violent inhumanity—of cruelty"
— James Baldwin via @Harmony_Holiday
Vortex. Once i was standing inside this, & i saw snowflakes coming down from the hole in the top. Magical.
“Keep thou
Thy tearless watch
All night but when blue-dawn
Breathes on the silver moon, then weep!
Then weep!”
—Adelaide Crapsey (Anguish, 1911-1913) via @twicktwit
For those who keep count. (via @gretathunberg)
