I LOVE LITERATURE, GUYS.
No, but really. I got super excited about my book, because I was reading Robert Browning, and he’s fantastic. I love how subtly he blends murder and art. It’s so effortless, and it makes his characters seem like pure Hannibal-style psychopaths. It’s awesome.
“Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,
Whene’er I passed her; but who passed without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
As if alive. Will ‘t please you rise?”
