“The architecture of the Minotaur’s heart is ancient. Rough hewn and many chambered, his heart is a plodding laborious thing, built for churning through the millennia. But the blood it pumps—the blood it has pumped for five thousand years, the blood it will pump for the rest of his life—is nearly human blood. It carries with it, through his monster’s veins, the weighty, necessary, terrible stuff of human existence: fear, wonder, hope, wickedness, love. But in the Minotaur’s world it is far easier to kill and devour seven virgins year after year, their rattling bones rising at his feet like a sea of cracked ice, than to accept tenderness and return it.”

— Steven Sherrill, The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break

“I love words opalescent, cool, and pearly, / Like midsummer moths, and honied words like bees, / Gilded and sticky, with a little sting.”

— Elinor Wylie, from Nets to Catch the Wind; “Pretty Words,” (via violentwavesofemotion)
