i just hit 1,500 followers on this blog! thank you all so much!! i never expected this kind of response when i started my lil medieval illuminations blog a few months ago and it means more to me than you know.

to celebrate, here's something a bit different for once -- a poem by Alejandra Pizarnik that contains the quote that i've always used as a kind of motto on my blog. the english translation is by Yvette Siegert, published in Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962-1972
