OW

im a romantic but the plot twist is that im unlovable

…there is something to be said for these shiftless days,

John Ashbery, The System  (via mauriacs)

Pale beneath the blaze Hung the transparent foliage; and I watch'd Some broad and sunny leaf, and lov'd to see The shadow of the leaf and stem above Dappling its sunshine! And that walnut-tree Was richly ting'd, and a deep radiance lay Full on the ancient ivy, which usurps Those fronting elms

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge (This lime tree bower my prison) 

idk what the general consensus is on carl barats ideal hair length but to ME every time he cuts his hair an angel loses its wings

The fall of the house of usher (Edgar Allen Poe)

This is for sure my favourite quote from my favourite Poe story, it always sends shivers down my spine.

Reading Times, Pennsylvania, October 14, 1926

Real talk, as a teacher in England I can confirm that the British government does everything and anything to avoid teaching the true extent of colonial history to English kids. 

You ask a modern English teenager about Northern Ireland and they probably can’t tell you about fucking anything currently going on there bar ‘I think we weren’t nice to them’, and that’s the country next fucking door so you know they don’t know shit about India or the Middle East.

The English government PURPOSEFULLY does not teach English children the real in’s and out’s of the British Empire despite a recent call to ‘widen the breadth of our curriculum’ because then where would our football hooligans who defend statues come from? 

Have a good conversation with any bald headed English bloke wearing an England football shirt with an EDL tattoo and test his knowledge of the Empire he loves so much. 100 quid he knows fuck all beyond ‘we civilized those people!’

And this is why no one fucking likes us, because there’s no active effort to teach our younger generations why we were wrong or how to make things better, but there’s a clear educational agenda to shield young English children from any extensive criticism of England.

Leader-Telegram, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, October 1, 1925
