...Am I a player or a mere pawn? I suppose there is no difference at this point. No matter what, I will do what I must.

My heart is not a stone, will not be rolled about, nor toyed with.

“花舞花落泪，花哭花瓣飞。 花开为谁谢，花谢为谁悲。Flowers dance and shed tears, Flowers cry and their petals fly away. For whom do blossoming flowers wither?For whom do withered flowers grieve?”

Li Qingzhao (李清照), Ruined Flower (残花). Song dynasty.

Li Qingzhao is widely known as one of the greatest female poets of Chinese literature, and is recognized for her lyric poetry of the ci (词) form that followed set rhythms and tempos. Born in 1084 in modern-day Shandong to a family of scholar-officials, Li was one of an exceedingly small percentage of women who received education in childhood. Her prolific literary career included seven volumes of essays and six volumes of poetry. However, beyond fragments of her poetry much of Li’s work has been lost.

“we were scattered like stars, or rain.”

— Li Bai, from Exile’s Letter (tr. by Ezra Pound)

[thawofeons]

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

[thawofeons]

I will be the torchbearer, for one person can't rid the world of chaos alone.
