Rain

I love rain – everything about it. The way it looks and feels and smells. I love it in every season of the year.  The sweet spring rains that nourish soil and seeds. Refreshing summer rains that deliver us from the heat and parched earth. Crisp autumn rains that soak fallen leaves and smells like nostalgia and expectancy all at the same time. Cold winter rain that makes me glad for warm fires,…

Self-Care Sunday

Self-care is about prioritizing your well-being and doing things that make you feel good. Feel free to adjust the routine to best suit your preferences and needs. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Set the Mood Create a relaxing environment by dimming the lights and playing soothing music. Light some scented candles or use essential oils to enhance the ambiance.

Step 2: Morning Meditation or Stretching Start your self-care Sunday with a short meditation session to clear your mind and set positive intentions for the day. Alternatively, indulge in gentle stretching or yoga to awaken your body.

Step 3: Skincare Ritual Begin with a gentle cleanse to refresh your skin. Follow up with a hydrating mask or a DIY face mask using natural ingredients like honey and yogurt. Take this time to pamper your skin and give it some much-needed love.

Step 4: Nourishing Breakfast Prepare a nutritious and delicious breakfast. Consider options like a smoothie bowl, whole grain pancakes, or avocado toast. Incorporate fruits, veggies, and protein to fuel your body for the day ahead.

Step 5: Journaling or Creative Expression Spend some time journaling your thoughts, goals, or things you're grateful for. Alternatively, engage in a creative activity you enjoy, like painting, drawing, or writing poetry.

Step 6: Relaxing Bath or Shower Take a soothing bath with Epsom salts, bath oils, or your favorite bubble bath. If you prefer a shower, use a fragrant body wash or scrub to refresh your skin. Consider playing calming music or listening to a podcast as you unwind.

Step 7: Hair Care Dedicate time to your hair care routine. Whether you're deep conditioning, trying out a new hairstyle, or simply giving your hair a break from styling, make it a moment of self-care.

Step 8: Mindful Reading or Learning Spend time reading a book that inspires you or teaches you something new. This could be a novel, a self-help book, or an article related to a topic you're passionate about.

Step 10: DIY Spa Time Set up a DIY spa area and treat yourself to a manicure, pedicure, or both. Use a luxurious scrub and follow up with your favorite nail polish for a polished look.

Step 11: Mindful Eating For lunch, prepare a balanced meal that includes a variety of colors and nutrients. Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite.

Step 12: Positive Affirmations Spend a few minutes reciting positive affirmations in front of a mirror. Remind yourself of your worth, strength, and beauty.

Step 13: Creative Cooking or Baking If you enjoy cooking or baking, spend some time in the kitchen preparing a special treat or a new recipe you've been wanting to try.

Step 14: Wind-Down Yoga or Stretching As the day comes to an end, engage in a gentle wind-down yoga session or some gentle stretches to relax your body before bedtime.

Step 15: Relaxing Bedtime Routine Wrap up your self-care Sunday with a calming bedtime routine. This could involve reading a few pages of a book, practicing deep breathing, or using a soothing lavender-scented mist on your pillow.

Remember, the most important thing is to tailor this routine to your preferences and make it a day that feels special and rejuvenating for you. Enjoy your self-care Sunday!

the ultimate guide to glowy, clear skin

so your skin looks great with and without makeup for your summer glow up 🫶🏽

things you should never skip:

- double cleansing at night

- SPF 50 during the day

- spraying a mist before applying hydrating ingredients

- getting 6-8 hours of sleep every night

- washing your hands before touching your face

- washing your pillowcases, hair wraps, and bedding once a week

- using paper towel to dry your face

the main way to have glowy skin? maintaining the skin barrier.

Find everyday products with the following ingredients:

- prebiotics + probiotics

I always use the Axis-Y Biome Radiating Essence

- fatty acids, cholesterols, and ceramides

I always use the Stratia Lipid Gold Serum/Lotion and Aestura Cream

- hydrators: Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Betaine, Panthenol

I always use the Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid lotion and Mediheal NMF Ampoule Mask

- anti-inflammatories, antibacterials and antifungals: Propolis, Heartleaf, Centella Asiatica, Cica

I always use the Cosrx Propolis Ampoule and Abib Heartleaf Essence

the other part of having glowy skin? minimal texture, radiance, and clear pores.

These are things you’d use 1-2x a week:

- a surface exfoliator: Lactic Acid (darker-skin friendly; is also hydrating), Glycolic Acid

I always use the Paula’s Choice Lactic/Mandelic Acid exfoliator

- a deep exfoliator: Salicylic Acid, EX-07 enzyme, PHAs

I always use the numbuzin no.4 Pore Zero toner pad

- Vitamin A derivatives/alternatives: retinol, tretinoin, bakuchiol, resveratrol

I always use the 23 Years Old Bakuchiol A cream

You can use your surface and deep exfoliators together, but never mix an exfoliator with Vitamin A!

The biggest help to your skin being healthy and clear? Your diet.

EAT YOUR SKINCARE INGREDIENTS (not literally)

What’s going on inside your body reflects directly on your skin - from constipation, to period cycle stage, to lactose intolerance, and more.

The essentials:

• Collagen and Vitamin A

- BB LAB Collagen powder (also has hyaluronic acid and vitamin C)

- Grass-fed Gelatin Gummies

- Country Farms Super Reds

- Leafy Greens, Carrots, Pumpkin, Cantaloupe, Mango

• Prebiotics and Probiotics

- Country Farm Super Greens

- Seed Daily Synbiotic

- Kombucha

- Kefir

- Yogurt

• good ole H20 :)

- at least 64 ounces (8 cups) a day

Wanna keep your skincare routine simple? You’ll only need 5 things.

1. Oil Cleanser (PM only)

2. Gel/Milky Cleanser

3. an all-in-one toner (hydrates, nourishes, calms)

4. a great moisturizer (preferably with fatty acids and ceramides!)

5. SPF

Just make sure your diet, exercise routine, and sleep routine are the best they can be! 💘

❆‧₊*How to have a cozy and girly Winter *₊‧౨ৎ

As the winter season approaches, it's the perfect time to transform your living space into a cozy and girly haven that radiates warmth and charm. Embracing the winter wonderland doesn't mean sacrificing style; instead, it's an opportunity to infuse your space with comfort and femininity. Here's a guide on how to create a cozy and girly winter atmosphere that will make you look forward to chilly days and long nights.

Cozy Loungewear and Pajamas:

Upgrade your winter wardrobe with cozy loungewear and pajamas. Choose fabrics like fleece, flannel, or soft cotton in girly prints or pastel shades. Having a collection of comfy and stylish loungewear sets will make chilly evenings and lazy weekends feel like a fashion-forward retreat.

Warm and Indulgent Treats:

Treat yourself to warm and indulgent goodies that embody the spirit of winter. Bake girly-themed cookies, sip on hot cocoa with whipped cream and sprinkles, or experiment with seasonal recipes. The process of creating and enjoying these treats can be a delightful self-care ritual. Display a variety of teas, hot chocolates, and coffees in beautiful containers.

Luxurious Bath Time: Elevate your bath time into a luxurious experience. Treat yourself to scented bath salts, nourishing bath oils, or fizzy bath bombs. Light some candles, play soft music, and unwind in a warm bath, enveloping yourself in relaxation and comfort.

Winter Fragrances: Select fragrances that evoke the essence of winter. Warm and sweet scents like vanilla, cinnamon, or lavender can add a comforting touch to your beauty routine. Consider investing in scented body lotions and hair mists to carry the cozy fragrance throughout the day.

Fashion Forward: Cozy and Chic

Winter fashion is all about layering, and you can turn this into a stylish advantage. Opt for soft pastel sweaters, faux fur coats, and cute accessories like mittens and beanies. Don't forget to explore the world of stylish boots; knee-high or ankle boots in soft tones can add a feminine touch to any winter outfit

Hot Cocoa and Chill: Girly Winter Activities

Embrace girly winter activities that warm both your heart and soul. Plan a cozy night in with your favorite chick flicks, indulge in hot cocoa topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, and surround yourself with plush blankets and pillows. It's the perfect recipe for a girly winter evening.

Warm and Rosy: Makeup for the Winter Glow

Winter often brings dry skin and a pale complexion, but that's no reason to abandon your makeup routine. Embrace rosy cheeks, soft pink lips, and a hint of shimmer to capture the winter glow. Opt for a dewy finish foundation to keep your skin looking fresh despite the cold weather.

What are your thoughts on vampires that turn into fruit bats?

I could go on about the geographical origins of certain folklore, the choices in film adaptations and the logic of turning into an animal that comes from a completely different continent, but where's the fun in that? So here are my worldbuilding thoughts on vampires that turn into fruit bats:

• Very funny if the vampire is physically imposing in their human shape and they turn into a little leaf-nosed fruit bat. On the other hand, these look much more like strange creatures and less like goofy puppies.

• Very impressive if a vampire turns into a large megabat/old world fruit bat. It makes sense to pick the largest type of bat from an intimidation point of view, but it's not very helpful for being sneaky. And once you get up close they do look like goofy puppies.

• Very useful if turning into a fruit bat also means they can eat fruit while in that shape! Great way to allow for vegan vampires. Possibly with some repercussions, like having to eat very often to get enough nourishment for the human shape or losing some vampire powers that come only from drinking blood.

• An excellent confusion for biologists if the vampire takes on the shape of the bat, but does not have to follow fruit bat rules. In most media vampires in bat shape do not seem to lose their intelligence or reason, so they might just go hunting in bat shape and attack people for their blood, upsetting the entire chiropterologist community.

Personally I rarely write vampires that can shapeshift - whether it's into wolves, bats, or mist - because it makes them even more powerful and it's ever harder to explain away than "undead sustained by blood". I do really like it as a concept though and in stories that are leaning into horror or comedy without trying to give explanations it's a delightful thing to play with.

I support horrific bat vampires fluttering at the edge of their victim's vision and cuddly bat vampires napping the day away in someone's coat pocket~

The sky is vast and empty. In it, clouds and mist arise and vanish. Rain appears and disappears. The sky is unchanged.

The mind when empty, is free from all impressions of thoughts, opinions, past memories. It is unstained by feelings of envy, guilt, greed, hate, fear etc. Such a mind is pure, luminous and open.

Self realisation is awakening to the truth that our true reality is ‘love’.

Not the love that is personal and discriminates, but ‘true love’. Ordinary love is rooted in desire and discrimination. The river flows freely, the Sun shines on all, just as the skies shower rain upon everything, trees offer their shade to anyone who needs it. The Earth nourishes without opinion, discrimination or expectation.

Everything in the universe speaks of an unconditional love that gives freely, accepts and nurtures. It is vast and boundless.

Awaken, and let the love of the universe flow through you.

Reveal Your Bollywood Glow: Unveiling Celebrity-Inspired Skincare Secrets.

This blog is going to be all about Indian & bollywood inspired products and skincare tips. If you also want a blog separately about Indian natural and authentic skincare or hair care I'll surely make it. 🫶

Know Your Skin Type : Identify your skin type - whether it's oily, dry, combination, or sensitive - to tailor your skincare routine effectively.

Cleanse Like a Star : Use a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil or Neutrogena to remove dirt and makeup and a oil cleaner is a must if you wear makeup daily. Opt for micellar water for a quick and effective cleanse on busy days. (But I don't really recommend it).

Exfoliate for Radiance : Incorporate a mild exfoliator like St. Ives Apricot Scrub or The Body Shop's Vitamin C Glow-Revealing Liquid Peel to slough off dead skin cells and reveal glowing skin. And my personal favorite coffee scrub from The Bombay shaving company. Don't exfoliate more than twice a week.

Hydration Is Key : Use a hydrating toner such as Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray for an instant boost of hydration or toner + mist from pilgrim works like magic (my fav 😭).

Targeted Treatments : Include a serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid (for hydration) or vitamin C (for hyperpigmentation) if you are under 17 or 18 like me don't use vitamin c or if you want to use in very less %, I use 2% kojic acid for my uneven skin tone from pilgrim, it's very begniner friendly. (Always consult a dermatologist for your skincare don't go around seeing videos on insta and YouTube believing them). I recommend Minimalist if you want chemical bases serums.

If you are above 23 or 25 Incorporate a retinol-based cream like RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream for anti-aging benefits. (Got this tip from mumma for y'all 😭✨️)

Sun Protection Essentials : Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, such as La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. More affordable and effective sunscreens from brands — dot and key, aqualogica, Dr. Seth and wish care.

Overnight Nourishment: Use a hydrating overnight mask like Laneige Water Sleeping Mask to replenish moisture while you sleep. Incorporate a facial oil like The Ordinary's Rose Hip Seed Oil for added nourishment and radiance.

DIY Treatments Inspired by Bollywood:

- Try a turmeric, gram flour and yogurt face mask inspired by Priyanka Chopra for glowing skin.

- Use aloe vera gel like Deepika Padukone for its soothing and hydrating properties. (MY fav bolly actress btw 😭❤️)

Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Skin : Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day people are not stupid that they are going around telling you to drink water, IT'S A MUST!. Incorporate antioxidant-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and green tea into your diet for overall skin health.

Some of my fav brands (mostly available in india) : dot and key, Foxtale, pilgrim, minimalist, st. Botanica, organic harvest and aqualogica!

Fav brand released by a bollywood actress: Hyphen by Kriti Sanon, their lip balm can even beat Rhode's lip balm istg- and their sunscreen 🔛🔝.

Channel your inner Bollywood diva and achieve a radiant, flawless skin with these skincare tips and product recommendations. Let your skin glow like a star!

Why I love living in rural Italy

Autumn/winter edition

There is a certain magic that descends upon the rural areas of Italy as the seasons shift into autumn and winter, especially here in the Pre-Alps. The hills, which during the warmer months are vibrant with green, slowly turn into a rich palette of reds, golds, and deep browns, creating a landscape that is nothing short of breathtaking. It’s a time of harvest, gathering, and quiet reflection, when the air becomes crisp and the pace of life slows down, making room for a deeper connection with the land and its rhythms.

Autumn begins with the scent of wood smoke curling from chimneys and the rustle of leaves as they blanket the forest floor. One of the highlights of the season is the chestnut festivals, or sagre delle castagne, held in the mountain villages. These festivals are a celebration of the simple joys of the season—roasted chestnuts, warm wine, and laughter shared around open fires. The smell of chestnuts, roasted over hot coals, drifts through the air as you walk through cobbled streets, their warmth cradled in paper cones that warm your hands on brisk afternoons. Local producers sell honey, preserves, and handmade crafts, while the soft glow of lanterns creates a cozy atmosphere, inviting everyone to pause and savor the moment.

The mornings in autumn are something special. The first light of dawn reveals a world covered in mist, with the peaks of the Pre-Alps just visible in the distance. Everything feels quiet, as if the landscape itself is still waking up. The trees, heavy with dew, shimmer in the pale light, and the earthy scent of wet leaves fills the air. After a night of rain, the hillsides glisten, their colors deepened by the moisture. It’s the perfect time to wrap yourself in a woolen scarf, head out for a walk, and enjoy the calm before the day begins in earnest.

As the season progresses, the days grow shorter, and the soft golden light of the afternoon gives way to early twilights. At dusk, the landscape takes on a dreamlike quality. The sky turns a soft lavender, and the silhouettes of the mountains stand stark against the fading light. There’s a comforting stillness in these moments, a sense that the world is ready to rest, much like the land preparing for the sleep of winter. It’s a time to retreat indoors, to sit by the fire and let its warmth seep into your bones. A pot of broth simmers on the stove, filling the house with the soothing scent of herbs and root vegetables, promising nourishment and comfort.

And then winter arrives, transforming the landscape once again. The Pre-Alps, now blanketed in snow, seem to stretch endlessly into the distance, their peaks disappearing into the clouds. The mornings are sharp and cold, with frost clinging to the bare branches of trees, and the air is filled with the promise of snow. After a heavy snowfall, the world outside becomes silent, as if the snow has absorbed all sound. It’s in these moments that life inside feels all the cozier. The crackle of the fire becomes the soundtrack to quiet evenings spent knitting or reading, while a hearty meal, perhaps a simple broth with fresh herbs, warms the soul.

Even on the coldest winter days, there’s a comfort in the rhythm of rural life. The mountains provide a stunning backdrop, whether viewed from a kitchen window while you prepare a meal or glimpsed during a brisk walk through the woods. The snow crunches beneath your boots, and the air is sharp and clean, with the scent of pine needles lingering long after you’ve returned indoors.

The beauty of autumn and winter in rural Italy isn’t just about the changing landscape—it’s about the feeling of being deeply connected to the natural world, of living in harmony with the seasons. These months offer a sense of cocooning, of turning inward and finding peace in the simplicity of daily life. Whether it’s the warmth of a bowl of chestnut soup after a walk in the crisp air or the comforting glow of a fire on a dark winter evening, there’s a timeless, grounding quality to these seasons that makes rural life here so special.

[Event Navi | M.list] | [Bsd M.List] ♡

" Careful not to make a mess, Myshka."

Fyodor's voice hung in the air, clashing in the silence that had taken hold of the ambiance. His tone held a tincture of mirth, lips twitching against the rim of china pinched between his fingers.

Maroon eyes meandered from the book resting in his lap, a dainty finger mindlessly running along edges and outlining the words. Instead, he favored settling his attention on your form, observing your demaneor with great interest. The shift of his gaze was nearly numbing, a jolt cascading down your spine with a mere glance.

A mild besotted look graced upon his features comprised of loose eyebrows and empathized by the shift in his lips - taking on more of a smirk. And his eyes always held that glint. Unwavering yet vacuous - it was terribly hard to know what he was thinking. His body language was poised, and he shrouded himself in a mist of elegance yet composed of an enigmatic quality. It coupled well with his articulated style of tone, orchestrating into a display of palpable deference.

Moments such as these were never uncommon, however, relishing in his presence amongst the poorly lit setting. It was a favorable change to the display of luminescent monitors that had swayed his attention and casted his silhouette from afar, leaving you to ponder when next you would garner his attention. But Fyodor never kept you waiting, compensating with moments such as these, nourished with the poetry pouring from his lips.

And although you were privy to such moments in repetition, it nonetheless yielded a calculated approach on Fyodor's behalf to keep you entertained; your favorite peice of literature perched on the nearby bookshelf, a grandiose chair inched closer to his or a glass of expensive wine at the ready such as now. It casted a light atmosphere, far from arduous despite its supposing poor characteristics; silent, dim and feeling somewhat stiffening. Yet it didn't yield that level asperity and posed as an anomalous to the encounter.

And while he was never the loquacious individual, the hand that reached to brush aside the hairs that flocked your face was grounding of his presence. Additionally, when quoting his thoughts, he had always done so with a calming tone that assuaged the mounting silence, easily luring you with veridical sincerity.

He watched with great amusement as you took a sip of the expensive wine, a brush of magenta becoming pronounced on your lower lip. The more you indulged yourself with a taste, the more your movements became sluggish, liquid swishing hapazardly in the glass with sloppy motions of your hand - however, you still had an acute awareness just as you can sense his glance with facility. What did prove as difficult was pinpointing the cause of your warming cheeks; the alcohol or his persistent gaze.

" You're making a little mess, darling. Allowing extravagant offerings go to waste, hmm?" You nearly flinched as you felt his frigid thumb reach out to brush against your stained lips. Even after he had wiped away the remnants of the substance, his fingers remained - persisting in its circular motions and mapping out feature.

It hadn't even occurred to you that his own glass was long abandoned on the coated surface of lacquer, limb taking place along the flesh of your thigh. You could faintly out the way his nails grazed into the fabrics, light crescents forming beneath.

Wordlessly, a pallid hand slipped to the base of your neck, calloused fingers brushing along your elevated baby hairs. He didn't need to exercise a lot of movement; his face was already gravitating to you, with yourself feeling compelled to close the distance. And as always, he made a pause, just shy of contact and allowing you to eliminate that unwanted space.

He molded a kiss upon your lips sprouting a response far more intoxicating than the wine. It wasn't often he deluged you in saccharin kisses nor to a level as he did now. Chasing your touch with a form of fervor reflected among your most intimate moments. Perhaps its modicum nature made it so addicting, its fruition leaving your chest bubbling at the shared rapport.

Hot breath caressed your cheek, nose brushing along the bridge with each withdrawal. Even with full rapt attention and brewing emotions, he remained steady. The hand you brushed along his shoulder was all the encouragement he needed to bring you closer, proceeding with a collection of kisses and effectively suspending the moment.

A hand crept to your hip, blunt nails busied on leaving light prints from where his fingers trailed. He meticulously massages your dips and curves, flaring your nerves to become captivated on him and him only.

His other appendage curved beneath your chin, hands dexterous from manipulating the cello. His fingers would strike the cords, and out came a harmony unmatched to the etudes and repertoire to the most adroit. However, he found to be the most melodic ballad being the muffled sounds that escaped you, swallowed by the vehement exchanges. It was incomparable to the C, G, D, and A strings that adorned the instruments bridge, taking on an idiosyncratic property he could only recreate with keen affections.

Even as his kisses left your chest heaving in a plea of fresh air, a form of pull cajoled you to take placement back with his own. You could faintly make out a trace of grape that coated his lips, smearing from the corners as his hand guided you once again. Though your own painted pair could be more attributed to the light nibbling - Fyodor drawing back with bottom lip hooked between his caines and coaxing soft gasps in response to the unexpected intimacy.

" Do you want me to refill your glass?" Your voice came as a hushed whisper, weaken to his ministrations with breath prickling his stained ones. His hands ran along down to your waist, thumb purposefully taunting the spine - you could feel his lips curve and arcuate when you were unable to cease your squriming, thoroughly pliable to his obsessional tendencies.

A hum reverbated from his throat, it's echoing ripples undulating against your skin and effectively accentuating the heat that became pervasive along your body. His lips move against yours as he recited his answer, devoided of dubiety and coated with a lucid tone.

" Now why would I want that, Myshka? I have my favorite taste right here."

ooh ooh can peach use power ups in your canon? what's her aura like? 🩷

She technically can, as I imagine all creatures in my version to be able to use those (even yoshis and toads!), but considering that the magic she already possesses is more potent than any power-up known in existence, there wouldn't really be a need for her to use any. :3

However, the aura projected by her healing power is easily the most distinctive and recognizable of all: a gentle, blossoming force that envelops and shields those around it like a blanket. If Mario is the downpour and Luigi the thunderclap, Peach is the ethereal mist and fresh vitality nourishing the soil. ⛈️🌱

At rest, their natural auras each give off a different type of warmth, and in training sessions or battle, the way they harness power-ups is also representative of their own unique traits. 💫

Wherein Will Appear the Name of Enjolras's Mistress

Courfeyrac, seated on a paving-stone beside Enjolras, continued to insult the cannon, and each time that that gloomy cloud of projectiles which is called grape-shot passed overhead with its terrible sound he assailed it with a burst of irony.

“You are wearing out your lungs, poor, brutal, old fellow, you pain me, you are wasting your row. That’s not thunder, it’s a cough.”

And the bystanders laughed.

Courfeyrac and Bossuet, whose brave good humor increased with the peril, like Madame Scarron, replaced nourishment with pleasantry, and, as wine was lacking, they poured out gayety to all.

“I admire Enjolras,” said Bossuet. “His impassive temerity astounds me. He lives alone, which renders him a little sad, perhaps; Enjolras complains of his greatness, which binds him to widowhood. The rest of us have mistresses, more or less, who make us crazy, that is to say, brave. When a man is as much in love as a tiger, the least that he can do is to fight like a lion.

That is one way of taking our revenge for the capers that mesdames our grisettes play on us. Roland gets himself killed for Angélique; all our heroism comes from our women. A man without a woman is a pistol without a trigger; it is the woman that sets the man off. Well, Enjolras has no woman. He is not in love, and yet he manages to be intrepid. It is a thing unheard of that a man should be as cold as ice and as bold as fire.”

Enjolras did not appear to be listening, but had any one been near him, that person would have heard him mutter in a low voice: “Patria.”

Bossuet was still laughing when Courfeyrac exclaimed:

“News!”

And assuming the tone of an usher making an announcement, he added:

“My name is Eight-Pounder.”

In fact, a new personage had entered on the scene. This was a second piece of ordnance.

The artillery-men rapidly performed their manœuvres in force and placed this second piece in line with the first.

This outlined the catastrophe.

A few minutes later, the two pieces, rapidly served, were firing point-blank at the redoubt; the platoon firing of the line and of the soldiers from the suburbs sustained the artillery.

Another cannonade was audible at some distance. At the same time that the two guns were furiously attacking the redoubt from the Rue de la Chanvrerie, two other cannons, trained one from the Rue Saint-Denis, the other from the Rue Aubry-le-Boucher, were riddling the Saint-Merry barricade. The four cannons echoed each other mournfully.

The barking of these sombre dogs of war replied to each other.

One of the two pieces which was now battering the barricade on the Rue de la Chanvrerie was firing grape-shot, the other balls.

The piece which was firing balls was pointed a little high, and the aim was calculated so that the ball struck the extreme edge of the upper crest of the barricade, and crumbled the stone down upon the insurgents, mingled with bursts of grape-shot.

The object of this mode of firing was to drive the insurgents from the summit of the redoubt, and to compel them to gather close in the interior, that is to say, this announced the assault.

The combatants once driven from the crest of the barricade by balls, and from the windows of the cabaret by grape-shot, the attacking columns could venture into the street without being picked off, perhaps, even, without being seen, could briskly and suddenly scale the redoubt, as on the preceding evening, and, who knows? take it by surprise.

“It is absolutely necessary that the inconvenience of those guns should be diminished,” said Enjolras, and he shouted: “Fire on the artillery-men!”

All were ready. The barricade, which had long been silent, poured forth a desperate fire; seven or eight discharges followed, with a sort of rage and joy; the street was filled with blinding smoke, and, at the end of a few minutes, athwart this mist all streaked with flame, two thirds of the gunners could be distinguished lying beneath the wheels of the cannons. Those who were left standing continued to serve the pieces with severe tranquillity, but the fire had slackened.

“Things are going well now,” said Bossuet to Enjolras. “Success.”

Enjolras shook his head and replied:

“Another quarter of an hour of this success, and there will not be any cartridges left in the barricade.”

It appears that Gavroche overheard this remark.

Do you ever think about how Lan Xichen is the soft, gentle morning rain that floats from the sky like mist, nourishing all the earth below, then dissipates in bursts of sun rays while Jiang Cheng is every thunderstorm in the dead of night that growls across the sky and cracks lightning outside of your window, then leaves the sky clear and the rivers full? Do you ever think about white stag Lan Xichen and black wolf Jiang Cheng? Mountains and vistas Lan Xichen, mud and muck Jiang Cheng? Do you ever think about perfect gentleman Lan Xichen, idealized by all; and insular, unpopular Jiang Cheng, mocked and degraded his whole life? How they're complete, perfect opposites?

Do you ever think about how the same thing happened to them, anyway?
