"I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books."

Bizarre Victorian fact of the day…
William John Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck the 5th Duke of Portland was a famous 19th century eccentric. He never wanted to meet anyone and so spent most of his time in 4 or 5 rooms within his enormous mansion. He communicated with people in written form with correspondence being posted through letterboxes in his bedroom door, his meals were brought to him by a miniature railway, he only went outside at night and all the servants were told to ignore his presence should they ever see him.

Tom Hiddleston reading Shakespeare Sonnet 130
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.(Source: kamero-gomez, via fastfadingviolets)

Inês. I am the combined effort of everyone I have ever met.
