I now bless you with what might be the only surviving photograph of Radclyffe Hall smiling (that I could find and I looked). 

Una smiles more often, but Hall almost never does, from what I found. 

#I mean they were born in the late Victorian era so that could have been part of it #but for some reason I was like NO her smile exists somewhere #I get the feeling someone was telling a joke or something and they caught her laughing/grinning but maybe I'm wrong #this is from 1934 I think so they're both in their early fifties here I think #radclyffe hall #una tourbridge #lesbian history #lesbian pride #1930s #british writers #british artists #mad respect ladies mad respect #old photographs #vintage lgbt #early 20th century #lgbt history #modernist writers #british poets #brit lit #lesbian couples #gay couples #black and white photograph #is that enough tags? #british newspaper archives.blog.uk #the well of loneliness #radcylffe hall's smile #happy couples

Programming Update: Cosplaying 19th Century British Poets

Ye Olde Blogge is going on summer holiday so there will be complications. To find out all of the fun and the details of the complications, read the post.

Howdy y’all! Programming update here. In five and a half hours — it is 9:30 AM in Phnom Penh as of this writing — we will be winging our way off to Zurich and later by train to Tuscany! There, we will be cosplaying 19th century British poets for as we summer in a villa in the rolling hills outside of Tuscany. I’ve got two weeks of Mary Shelley costumes prepared! I’ve re-watched the Dr Who…

"If I were well-to-do / I would put roses on roses, and cover your grave / With multitude of white roses, and just a few / Red ones, a bloody-white flag over you."

D.H. Lawrence, Birthday (1914)

"Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle, and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world."

— An excerpt from Percy Bysshe Shelley's A Defence of Poetry (1821) in honor of World Poetry Day

THE MOON MAIDEN’S SONG

Sleep ! Cast thy canopy

Over this sleeper’s brain,

Dim grow his memory,

When he wake again.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.

Sleep ! Yet thy days are mine ;

Love’s seal is over thee :

Far though my ways from thine,

Dim though thy memory.

Love stays a summer night,

Till lights of morning come ;

Then takes her winged flight

Back to her starry home.
