How wrong is it to know of something beautiful and keep it a secret?

Is it cruelty?

Is it sin?

If so, I am a sinner

I want to live in a museum

I want to live in a museum. An art museum or a history museum. Because it's just so, I mean can't you just imagine. Waking up to Monet or some 16th century couple staring down at you. Or maybe having breakfast sitting next to a dinosaur skeleton. You could go to sleep reading history and then actually being able to look at it. Speaking of which, living in a planetarium would be pretty cool too. I don't think I have to explain that one. I'd probably listen to their explanation of the galaxy thing every night. I mean who came up with planetariums, I want to give them flowers. I mean, you wanted to build a place where people who admire the stars and celestial bodies and acknowledge that space exists can come sit together and stare up at the sky and a ceiling full of stars. You deserve flowers. And now I'm imagining a dazed person sitting in a desk flooded with paper and dead flowers in a glass and looking out their window and wanting to show to the world what they saw and falling in love with it because stars and the sky. I want galaxy themed wrapping paper.

Poetry

When reality restrains our desires

The shadows help us indulge

As we see what could be

Hidden from the light

'our hands were not touching, but their shadows were'

I understand that no-one understands me, but I can't be someone I'm not

Poetry

Today I want

Someone who will be with me

And wander through streets

And libraries and history

Who will listen to my music

And I will listen to their's

And together we will make our own

Today I want for fate to be true

And for soulmates to exist

Today I want for night to be day

For everyone to see its beauty

And know that it is a muse

I want today to be the today of my dreams

I want others to see everything as I see

Because what I see is beauty

The perfect color palette

And the perfect ratio of things around me

I see passion in everything

In the way the beige loves the brown

And the black loves the gold

The way that the stars love the sky

I want for everyone to be an aesthete

Poetry

How can I love you

When I do not know you

When I know you know not of me

When I see you laugh everyday and see you talk to them

When I know I am not them, that I will never be

When I see you live like you have no restraint

When your eyes crinkle in the corners and glisten so beautifully

When I do not even know the color of your eyes

How can it be

That when we did talk

I took of you no notice

How can it be

That now I force

My gaze to not wander

How can I love you

When I try so hard not to?

Poetry

I am you

And you are me

Because we are reflections

Of what we see

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist that is all.

Poetry

Brumous night

Makes me want to become a tree

As beings find shelter under my mane

And water drips down my frame

And no one can deny me

My gratification

In my state of kalopsia

I was disillusioned by society

Germania

Written by Tacitus (Greek Philosopher) in 98 AD

A history of sorts, on Germany or Germania.

At the time it was defined as the region beyond the gaul, which was east of the Rhine

Mentions the appearance of the Germans - blue or dark green eyes, reddish hair, large bodies, tolerant of cold and hunger but not of heat and thirst. (Very specific and I don't want to know how Tacitus found out about this.)

Women's views were given respect, priests carried out punishments and the government was merit based.

Things - which were assemblies, the final decision resided with the men of the group as a whole.

They were loyal to one partner and adulterers were shunned from society.

Women went to battle with men as motivation. (Men fought harder as to avoid women getting captured)

Only ever mention of the Sitones, or settlers, who are noted to be ruled by women, to which Tacitus says,

So low have they fallen, not merely from freedom, but even from slavery itself.

Correct me if I'm wrong about anything, or if you want to add some points.

The Guillotine

It was suggested by Joseph Ignace-Guillotin in order to make the process of decapitating people easier during the French revolution....and so that it wasn't only nobles who had the privilege to chop off heads.

It was last used in the 1970s before it got banned in 1981.

At one point in time the guillotine was so famous, nobles kept it on their dinning tables to slice bread and children were given miniature versions of it to play with as toys (and to behead rodents and dolls).
