“Books, books, books! I had found the secret of a garret room Piled high with cases in my father’s name; Piled high, packed large,--where, creeping in and out Among the giant fossils of my past, Like some small nimble mouse between the ribs Of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there At this or that box, pulling through the gap, In heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, The first book first. And how I felt it beat Under my pillow, in the morning’s dark, An hour before the sun would let me read! My books!” ― Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh.

Eloise Bridgerton is exactly what Elizabeth Barrett Browning had in mind when writing Aurora Leigh
the last photo is “the tryst” by Arthur Hughes & is Aurora Leigh’s dismissal of Romney

I've just acquired a copy of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's verse novel Aurora Leigh which I am very excited to start reading but can I just take a moment to draw attention to this arresting cover image.
It's a photograph of the French dancer Cléo de Mérode taken by Léopold-Émile Reutlinger, a German-Jewish photographer who took some truly exquisite images. It's also highly anachronistic since neither model or photographer were even born when Aurora Leigh was published in 1856 (naughty Oxford University Press!) but every time I see it lying around the house I'm drawn to it. So a good cover in that sense I think!
Some more photographs by Reutlinger:
French Soprano Aino Ackté
French actress Geneviève Lantelme
Poet and dramatist Edmond Rostand (the guy who wrote Cyrano de Bergerac)

There's not a crime But takes its proper change out still in crime If once rung on the counter of this world.

“Therefore, this same world Uncomprehended by you must remain Uninfluenced by you. Women as you are, Mere women, personal and passionate, You give us doting mothers, and chaste wives. Sublime Madonnas, and enduring saints! We get no Christ from you,—and verily We shall not get a poet, in my mind.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh

Shy affection prompts: ”I want our kids to have your eyes.” + Javelia plssssssss
youtube
What if Amelia and Javi really, really couldn't be responsible people, despite Ollie, and Fern, and Mr. Cranston all telling them over and over again: "Your luck will run out"?
What if Amelia said something romantic in the aftermath of a long night of rolling around without a condom or any other kind of birth control, as a joke, as a thought about the future--but it turned into something like self-fulfilling prophecy?
Javi really didn't mind being the mom, being the one stuck with morning sickness, and body aches, and the birthing process, but it was a little insane how on point Amelia's announcement to the universe turned out to be...
