Taylor Swift WAS right!!!! I DO want auroras and sad prose!!! I DO want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet!!! those Windermere peaks DO look like a perfect place to cry!!! I DO want to set off with my muse to where all the poets went to die!!! fuck these hunters with cell phones (I'm one)

William Wordsworth, Lines written at a small distance from my House, and sent by my little Boy to the Person to whom they are addressed (1798) (extract).

“Is somebody gonna match my freak”, or more like, did anyone else write a 15-page essay on all the allusions to the Lake Poets’ poems in Taylor Swift’s Folklore when they were angsty fifteen-year-olds desperately needing attention from their high school female English teachers?

By the way, I wish Taylor had released “The albatross” sooner. Not only would it enhance the essay, but it would also make the laudanum-addicted old pall smile from heaven.

Reading a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge aloud while being alone feels like if I were cursing the rest life or reading the Bible

Human

It’s been 3 days has it, or 3 months, maybe it’s been 3 years,

It seems like you were by me last night…

So my daffy little heart begins thinking with its head

And misconstrues the expiration date on its emotions,

How human,

How unusual

I haven’t felt like a human for most my days,

My standards being what they are, or were,

It all just sort of ends in a heap at the bottom of an incline.

And today will become tomorrow,

And my daft little heart will go on persevering…

Uninterested in notions of likelihood and assurance,

Free of its own assumptions,

And too tired to do much of anything but move forward…

How human,

How daftly divine.

"Love seeketh not itself to please,

Nor for itself hath any care,

But for another gives its ease,

And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.”-

William Blake “The Clod and the Pebble”

The beautiful @kinolaika hosted the cast and crew of YÖTÖN YÖ for a special, world premiere screening of the final cut of the short film available to watch in Alan Wake 2. Kino Laika was founded by the Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki and writer and poet Mika Lätti, and felt like the perfect setting to show the cast and crew the final product of their hard work. Thank you to everyone from @angelfilms.fi for lending their expertise to the production! Thank you to the staff of the cinema for being excellent hosts! (x)

“i hate it here, so take me to the lakes” is an absolute gut-punch
