My favourite poem

She once asked me 
the name of my
favourite poet
and I replied

God

She laughed
and played along
and asked me
which one of his
works was my
absolute favourite

I said it was
the one
where he
wrote her
into existence

“She herself is a haunted house. She does not possess herself; her ancestors sometimes come and peer out of the windows of her eyes and that is very frightening. She has the mysterious solitude of ambiguous states; she hovers in a no-man’s land between life and death, sleeping and waking.”
– Angela Carter, “The Lady of the House of Love” from The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories (via mirroir)

“She knew that one day, when she was a very old woman, she would dream this dream for the last time, and in this very last dream of all she would see the little white horse, and he would not go away from her. He would come towards her, and she would run towards him, and he would carry her on his back away and away, she did not quite know where, but to a good place, a place where she wanted to be.”
– Elizabeth Goudge, The Little White Horse (via ellenkushner)
