Will you stand or will you turn? Will you teach or will you learn? When your demons rise above You’ll be sleeping cold my love

Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play… I tell you, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.

After reading Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, I cannot help but think of Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful as a fitting theme song for the titular character, encapsulating both his obsession with Beauty and his grapple with the concepts of Vanity and Arrogance as well as Faith and Redemption.

Yet one had ancestors in literature as well as in one's own race, nearer perhaps in type and temperament, many of them, and certainly with an influence of which one was more absolutely conscious. There were times when it appeared to Dorian Gray that the whole of history was merely the record of his own life, not as he had lived it in act and circumstance, but as his imagination had created it for him, as it had been in his brain and in his passions. He felt that he had known them all, those strange terrible figures that had passed across the stage of the world and made sin so marvellous and evil so full of subtlety. It seemed to him that in some mysterious way their lives had been his own.

On that first day, an everlasting love for Venice was born in me. It seemed singularly devoid of horrors, a warm home even for its well-dressed and clever beggars, a hive of prosperity and vehement passion as well as staggering wealth.

I have lived lies. I have done it again and again. I live lies because I cannot endure the weakness of anger and I cannot admit the irrationality of love. Oh, the lies I have told myself and others! I knew it, yet I didn't know.

Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know, Are a substantial world, both pure and good: Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow.

While reading The Witching Hour and the subsequent books, I have always visualised Lasher as Ben Barnes. He fits the description to perfection. If there is ever a movie based on the book, I would love to see Ben Barnes taking up the role.

Looking up from underneath, 

Fractured moonlight on the sea, 

Reflection still looks the same to me, 

As before I went under. 

And it's peaceful in the deep: 

Cathedral where you cannot breathe; 

No need to pray, no need to speak, 

Now I am under...

He regarded the face with a benign smile shining down on him like the Light from a thousand suns, and replied with a serene smile of his own. Yes, I will spend Eternity with You. After all, wasn’t it an eternity with Them that he had been waiting for, wishing for all his life? And as They advanced towards him in mid-air and he towards Them, he knew it was finally the convergence of the twain. One at last. Always and forever.
