Favorite Quote:
The vastest things are those we may not learn.
We are not taught to die, nor to be born,
Nor how to burn
With love.
How pitiful is our enforced return
To those small things we are the masters of.
--Mervyn Peake


It was too foreign,
like another language was being
breathed into my mouth,
and I thought of the first time
I spoke with an accent--
warm and nervous,
hesitant to make a mistake,
so eager to please--
and I then felt cold, unresponsive
