If you want to know what a manโs like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

Iโm gonna need you to love me a little harder sometimes. Most days, Iโll act like Iโm just fine. Iโll paint my smile across my face and wear it proudly. Iโll laugh loudly like Iโve never tasted sadness in my life. But other days, I will not be so strong. I will not walk boldly into the room, I will collapse into it. My vision of life will be clouded by darkness, and I will make my walls extra thick in hopes that you donโt notice. Please, notice. And when you do, pull me close. Hold me until weโre both too warm for anything else to matter. Let me breathe you in. Tell me that you love me, donโt stop until I respond, and then tell me again. I know this could be inconvenient for you, and Iโm sorry. I donโt mean to be a bother, but sometimes I need to be told that Iโm worth it.

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
T. S. Eliot, from Waste Land in “Selected Poems Of T. S. Eliot”

the worst part about being an early modernist in Australia is that I have such limited access to primary sources. luckily my uni has a small (and very valuable, to me anyway) collection of rare texts ♡ this is “The dialoges of creatures moralysed” (1535)
