Come, Peace of Mind, delightful guest, Return and make thy downy nest ⁠Once more in this sad heart! Nor riches I, nor power pursue, Nor hold forbidden joys in view; ⁠We therefore need not pait.

Where wilt thou dwell if not with me. From avarice and ambition free ⁠And pleasure's fatal wiles? For whom, alas! dost thou prepare, The sweets which I was wont to share ⁠The banquet of thy smiles.

And I wish you felt like this about me, but I know you don't and I don't think you ever will.

Hey, History Tumblr, need some help. I’ve been thinking of adding epigraphs (quotations included at the start of a book) to each volume of my Hamilton historical fiction series, ideally each being a quote about Hamilton from someone else talking about some aspect of Hamilton as a person (a character trait or some fancy comparison) that would allude to events within the book. For instance, this quote shared by @46ten that I’m considering for one of the later volumes. I am aware that there is a diary entry from someone directly comparing Hamilton to Cicero (during either the Constitutional Convention or the New York Ratifying Convention I believe?) that I’d also love to use, but can’t find it.

Here is The American Icarus volume breakdown of events for reference in regards to what I’m looking for:

Vol. 1: 1768-1778 (Hamilton’s childhood up through the Battle of Monmouth)

Vol. 2: 1778-1782 (Post-Monmouth up to Hamilton leaving for his congressional term in 1782-83)

Vol. 3: 1782-1788 (Hamilton’s congressional term up through the New York Ratifying Convention)

Vol. 4: 1788-1795 (Hamilton’s tenure as Secretary of Treasury)

Vol. 5: 1795-1804 (Hamilton’s return to his law practice up to his death)

If anyone has any suggestions for some good quotes I’d love to hear them, and thank you so much in advance to anyone who decides to help out—you’re amazing! If not, I’d love if you could share this post so others can see it :)

Happy Sunday!

Do you have a quote that you think fits one of your characters or your wip?

Hey CJ! I do have one for Life in Black and White (its epigraph):

“Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it burned in one.” - John Heywood

Okay, Stan Rice's poetry is for the most part shit, but the lines "And what is an angel / but a ghost in drag" do slap.

The Lion, Blessed With The Power Of The Stars

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will."

- Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

I am powerful

I am strong

No fiend, human or not, can tell me otherwise

Because I am the lion

Blessed with the power of the stars

I am graceful

I am wise

No enemy of any variety can say I am not

Because I am the lion

Blessed with the power of the stars

When the Sun rises like fire on the horizon

And the Moon makes the night seem like the day

I'll sing into the sky like birdsong and roar

Because I am the lion

Blessed with the power of the stars

Ink Black Heart research dump. I won't give away anything plotwise, these are just my notes on the references to other art and literature in the book, thought I would share.

Epigraph to the book from Doubt, by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge. I had a bit of bother rooting this out and found it eventually in a huge PDF. Struggled to get a screenshot and in the end just wrote the thing down. 😂

It's a religious poem, obvs, but I thought very on point. I love that the blindness is caused by excess of light.

I was reminded very much of Van Helsing's description of Mina in Dracula, "There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights."
