Another one of my girl Charlotte Bronte.

The flowers are tormentils, they grow wild on the moors of England.

My Charlotte Bronte tattoo. I got it done at Kustom Thrills by Brandon Henderson in Nashville, TN. More pics later!

10 Classic Novel Covers in 8-bit Form by Oliver Miller

If it’s 8-bit, I can cross stitch it. 

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. 

-Pablo Neruda
