You ask how this can be.
I only know that it is true
And bitter agony.

Character relationships in the Iliad
The Iliad is an epic poem by Homer with a lot of characters and story lines going on at once. I vaguely remember reading bits and pieces in high school and getting totally lost. Santiago Ortiz explores these relationships in his latest work, which draws on the connections i.e. character sentence co-occurrences.
Ale the Attendant of the Sacred Ibis in the Temple of Isis, Edwin Long
I see nothing. We may sink and settle on the waves. The sea will drum in my ears. The white petals will be darkened with sea water. They will float for a moment and then sink. Rolling over the waves will shoulder me under. Everything falls in a tremendous shower, dissolving me.
— Virginia Woolf, The Waves (via lavandula)
