White Nights, Fyodor Dostoevsky

reconciling the knowledge we won’t be lovers in this life with the belief that maybe somewhere, in some parallel universe, there is a version of you and a version of me that find themselves on the same train, heading to nowhere important, and it gets to be the beginning of something.

TAG YOURSELF AS A MEMBER OF THE GENEVA SQUAD!

researching for my english essay at the library today!! writing on the romantics/william blake. ultimately, i’m hapoy i went with blake and this art/literary movement. the discussion he makes surrounding religion in ‘the marriage of heaven and hell’ is reallt captivating and interesting. and the scholarship is nice to read as well!!

i’m just doing some quick research to see how strong my current arguments are represented, or if i need to alter them, or find more scholarship to either argue with or against

also going to the library was a great decision, i actually started writing the bloody thing.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to study English literature A-level in an all girls sixth form with a young teacher then just know that once (and this is a few years ago now) my teacher played the “If the men find out we can shapeshift they’re going to tell the Church!!” video and then asked us what about the video we could apply to studying The Handmaid’s Tale
