((This painting is by Hippolyte Romain, a French artist who has an amazing and vibrant collection of great scenes like this one here. I discovered him on Carla Loves Photography, and then went straight to his site, really fun stuff.))

Love the painting, love the quote---though isn't it funny that it comes from Emily D. who shut herself in an attic room her whole life? Knowing that about her makes the quotation even more striking I think...
EXACTLY. I know. Isn’t it?? The thing is, sometimes I feel like I completely understand it..... funny the writers I like...dickinson, woolf.... don’t let that scare you away ;) there’s another quote from her I adore, will post it soon for you! bon voyage x
