Isolde |
She fastened sandals beneath her feet, the immortal sandals of lovely gold that carried her, swift as airy winds, over ocean and over boundless earth. And she took the great spear, tall, strong, heavy, and brazen tipped with which she strikes down the ranks of warriers who have aroused her wrath- is she not the child of a mighty father? Then off she set: from the heights of Olympus. |

I saw this man on the Metro this past Monday, and asked him who the flowers were for. They were for his wife. They’ve been married for 47 years. Every Monday, he brings her home flowers after work. My heart died at that moment.

“Tomorrow I die because I lusted not for flesh, but to command my own destiny. This is not a womanly act, I know, but I have oft thought that in this way my spirit is much the same as a man’s. In this world a woman is born with one master who is her father. He rules her life until he hands her to a husband, who rules her till death. Many preachers preach that women have no souls. But some perverse twisting in my self has always kept me from obedience from men. I was but a girl when I first counted my self their worthy opponent. I defied them all - father, Cardinal Wolsey, Henrey. Held my ground like some knighted soldier on a battle ground. Mustered my forces, advanced, retreated, fought many skirmishes, practiced diplomacy won some great battles. And lost the war.”
-Anne Boleyn, in her last letter to Elizabeth
This is actually from the book The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn, which I greatly enjoyed.
