With the arrogance of youth, I determined to do no less than to transform the world with Beauty. If I have succeeded in some small way, if only in one small corner of the world, amongst the men and women I love, then I shall count myself blessed, and blessed, and blessed, and the work goes on. -- William Morris
Hey, so, something you should know about me is that I love William Morris with an agonizing intensity surpassed by pretty much nothing conceivable in the world. When I invent a time machine, I will use it to go back to Victorian times and break up with his marriage to that one model skank by saying, "Hey William Morris, I too believe in beauty, and also I won't have an affair with Dante Rosetti, so do you want to rethink your life choices?" and then he'll be like, "Oh Katharine, your beauty outshines that of the moon and stars. Won't you come live in my artistic commune where we are developing the British Arts and Crafts movement and make all our furnishings by hand? We need a basketweaver/bookbinder, and it is obvious that you are my one true love." And I'll be like, "Okay, cool."

What's up with having an affair with a Pre-Raphaelite Dante who isn't even the REAL and BETTER Dante? I mean, Dante Alighieri is one thing. Rosetti...no thank you.
seriously, I don't know what that chick's deal was.
--wait, am I allowed to response in a post on my own blog? Is that akin to writing on one's own facebook wall? I just don't know the rules of my ever changing cyber reality.
Writing on your own blog comment area is fine. I just decided. Also, I agree with you guys that some random Dante is definitely not worth it. At least pick the one who wrote amazing literature!
