Harper’s Christmas Number, 1893. Edward Penfield (American, 1866-1925). Cover art. Included is How Love Came. A Poem. Alice Archer Sewall.
“THE night was darker than ever before (So dark is sin), When the Great Love came to the stable door And entered in, And laid Himself in the breath of kine And the warmth of hay, And whispered to the Star to shine And to break, the Day. O flowers underneath the snow That chilled His feet, As He passed by did ye not know His footsteps sweet?…”
My first love showed me everything I couldn’t live without. He also showed me everything I would never tolerate, ever again.

We are writers, my love. We don’t cry, We bleed on paper.

also surely someone has made a classical music version of that meme of the different levels of interest going from like “normal” to “social pariah” or whatever? if not I’ll take responsibility for making it myself
