If It Makes You Happy

“The Roses of Heliogalabus” By Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1888)

“Oppressit in tricliniis versatilibus parasitos suos violis et floribus, sic ut animam aliqui efflaverint, cum erepere ad summum non possent.”

“In a banqueting-room with a reversible ceiling he once buried his guests in violets and other flowers, so that some were actually smothered to death, being unable to crawl out to the top.”

“Ophelia” by John William Waterhouse (1894)

Art: John William Waterhouse, “Flora and the Zephyrs” (1898)

“In the dusky path of a dream I went to seek the love who was mine in a former life.”

- this achingly beautiful line is from a poem by Tagore that W.B. Yeats selected for inclusion in The Oxford Book of Common Verse. Another reason for dreaming.

I am not afraid to walk this world alone.
