The flames surround me, and I feel myself slipping further from life, thinning to only the faintest shiver in the air. I yearn for the darkness and silence of the underworld, where I can rest.
Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Juliann Garey,  Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See. (via wordsnquotes)
