The Devil is a Woman. ☆☆☆

“Don’t talk to me of goldenrods or the tides.
Just dress for the hunt.”

–Elizabeth Lyons, The Blessing of Dark Water (2017)

"How philosophy is like an invisible but very very important network that underlies any society, and how philosophy is inescapable..."

"A Requiem

Neobulë, being tired,
Far too tired to laugh or weep,
From the hours, rosy and gray,
Hid her golden face away.
Neobule, fain of sleep,
Slept at last as she desired!

Neobule! is it well,
That you haunt the hollow lands,
Where the poor, dead people stray,
Ghostly, pitiful and gray,
Plucking, with their spectral hands,
Scentless blooms of asphodel?

Neobule, tired to death
Of the flowers that I threw
On her flower-like, fair feet,
Sighed for blossoms not so sweet,
Lunar roses pale and blue,
Lilies of the world beneath.

Neobule! ah, too tired
Of the dreams and days above!
Where the poor, dead people stray,
Ghostly, pitiful and gray,
Out of life and out of love,
Sleeps the sleep which she desired."

--Ernest Dowson
