By the ravenous teeth that have smitten
     Through the kisses that blossom and bud,
By the lips intertwisted and bitten
     Till the foam has a savour of blood,
By the pulse as it rises and falters,
     By the hands as they slacken and strain,
I adjure thee, respond from thine altars,
     Our Lady of Pain.

Algernon Swinburne, from Dolores (1866)

If you were dying within three months,
who would you secretly want to see

and why?

“It will be all the people who’ve been waiting for me all this time, the patient ones, the ones I’ll finally get to see again. And I tell you this, when it’s your turn, I’ll be one of the patient ones waiting for you.” — quote unquote
