A Space of Flowers

“No time hath she to sport and play:
A charmèd web she weaves alway.
A curse is on her, if she stay
Her weaving, either night or day,
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
Therefore she weaveth steadily,
Therefore no other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott…”
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1832

remember that time christine asked to borrow a handkerchief and erik was like i don’t have a nose

remember when raoul got on one knee in front of a room full on people and kissed christine’s hand and she was like lol who are you

remember that time that erik showed christine his torture chamber of trees and asked christine “what else is in a tree?” and christine replied “…birds?”

#she was hoping okay

also remember that time erik dropped the chandelier on his prospective box keeper and the newspaper ran a headline of TWO HUNDRED KILOS ON THE HEAD OF A CONCIERGE

Phenomenal Women in Film 
I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I’m a woman, Phenomenally. Phenomenal women, That’s me -Maya Angelou (x)

To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind.

- Arthur Conan Doyle (A Scandal in Bohemia, 1888)

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.

I think we’ll see a lot of those very dark and complex things about Mary.”- Gareth Neame

Happiness is one of the most important things in life but happiness is something you have to find in yourself - being who you are and accepting who you are - and no one can do that for you. I feel I’ve got to that stage, of being comfortable in my own skin.
