Pallas Athena

How can I explain to you, my happiness, my golden, wonderful happiness, how much I am all yours – with all my memories, poems, outbursts, inner whirlwinds? Or explain that I cannot write a word without hearing how you will pronounce it – and can’t recall a single trifle I’ve lived through without regret – so sharp! – that we haven’t lived through it together – whether it’s the most, the most personal, intransmissible – or only some sunset or other at the bend of a road – you see what I mean, my happiness?

— Vladimir Nabokov, Letters to Véra

Chiron: *sees people in the distance doing something stupid* oh my gods, what idiots.

Chiron: *realizing it’s Patroclus and Achilles* Oh no, those are my idiots!

Zephyrus "The Gentle One" & Flora The herald of Spring, Zephyrus (god of the west wind) is known as the most gentle among his brothers. When he descends, he melts the winter snow, bringing with him life-giving winds, warmth, and the joy of spring. As a result of Zephyrus kissing Chloris, a nymph, she became Flora, the goddess of flowers and new growth.
