' . . . is there anything wrong in trying to get her safely tied up with some nice man? We can't leave her to the mercy of the first adventurer who comes along, it must be somebody we know and trust.'

i always understand ♡

'I am punished by love' Ethel Cain, 'Punish', August 3, 2024 Lollapalooza Music Festival, Grant Park, Chicago

...

"But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me. ...I can't let go when something's broken." Ethel Cain, Sun Bleached Flies

"“Yes, he was in love with me. But he wouldn’t have married me if I had been poor. I don’t hurt you in saying that. How can I? I only want you to understand. I always tried to keep you from understanding; but that’s all over.”

“I always understood,” said Ralph.

“I thought you did, and I didn’t like it. But now I like it.”

“You don’t hurt me—you make me very happy.” And as Ralph said this there was an extraordinary gladness in his voice. She bent her head again, and pressed her lips to the back of his hand. “I always understood,” he continued, “though it was so strange—so pitiful. You wanted to look at life for yourself—but you were not allowed; you were punished for your wish. You were ground in the very mill of the conventional!”

“Oh yes, I’ve been punished,” Isabel sobbed.

He listened to her a little, and then continued: “Was he very bad about your coming?”

“He made it very hard for me. But I don’t care.”

“It is all over then between you?”

“Oh no; I don’t think anything’s over.”"
