until the darkness claims us → manon & dorian
❝ Manon did not back away as he slid his arms around her. “I am sorry,” he said into her hair.
Tentatively, slowly, her hands drifted across his back. Then settled, embracing him. “I miss them,” she whispered, shuddering.
Dorian only held her tighter, and let Manon lean on him for as long as she needed, Abraxos staring toward that blasted bit of earth on the plain, toward the mate who would never return, while the city below celebrated.❞
THE THREE MOTHERS: Mater Lachrymarum, Our Lady of Tears.
“The eldest of the three is named Mater Lachrymarum, Our Lady of Tears. She it is that night and day raves and moans, calling for vanished faces. […] She it was that stood in Bethlehem on the night when Herod’s sword swept its nurseries of Innocents, and the little feet were stiffened forever, which, heard at times as they tottered along floors overhead, woke pulses of love in household hearts that were not unmarked in heaven. Her eyes are sweet and subtle, wild and sleepy, by turns; oftentimes rising to the clouds, oftentimes challenging the heavens. She wears a diadem round her head.” – Thomas de Quincey, Suspiria de Profundis (x)

seer
“i can see so very far now. all the way to the sea.”
“i can hear the sea. even at night. even in my dreams. the crashing sea— and the screams of a bird made of fire.”
"i can never see him. what he is. there is an onyx box he possesses, more vital than anything... save for them. the girls."
mythology meme: aphrodite
❝ Bright hopes and pure delights Upon his course may beam, And there, amid the sternest heights, The sweetest flowerets gleam. On all her breezes borne, Earth yields no scents like those; But he that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose. ❞ ― Anne Brontë, The Narrow Way
