"not everything had a cause, and pretending otherwise was an interference in the workings of the world that was futile, and could even lead to grief. somethings were simply so."

"the calls of the birds, the cries of the playing children, were soothing to her in a way conversation could never be."


-mary queen of scotland and the isles-
by margaret george


"for no one lives forever to be anyones only hope"


-mary queen of scotland and the isles-
by margaret george


"she suggested fleeting joys and elegiac pleasures; she made a man want to hold her right now, today, in this moment."


-mary queen of scotland and the isles-

"i want to make romeo jealous. i want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter and grow sad i want a breath of our passion to stir their dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain."
