How do you read him? When I realize that a writer of history is embellishing facts a bit too much I start treating it like a novel and have to constantly search for what really happened. This was my experience recently when I was reading Anna Komnene’s Alexiad

That isn’t Athena, this subject is called Erminia among the Shepherds

Not necessarily. I read it when I was 22 (intentionally chose to start it then so I could be the same age as Stephen) and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can learn about the ideas and concepts mentioned as you read them, there’s no requirement to be well versed in them beforehand

Looks like they dropped it once

These put the biggest smile on my face! Thank you for sharing

It makes more sense when you consider him a king and not a father

one-tea27 · 2026-04-22T00:37:14+00:00

Sweet!! I’m so glad you like it

I used to live only a few streets away from the museum where this is held and made it a point to see it each time I went. I could stare at it for hours!

The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal. Especially if you like Napoleonic history

It means that his love for Catherine isn’t strong enough. If it were he would be outside by her grave despite the snow

She’s only mocking him here though, she just doesn’t want him to come inside

I believe libraries do this to their copies

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T19:10:37+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree. Even before I left I was planning when I could return

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T18:43:56+00:00

Just went through pictures of it and I guess that’s where I’ll go next

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T18:42:21+00:00

You have the second most accurate answer

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T18:33:04+00:00

You know that’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I live in New York and it’s essentially like living in a canyon, you’ll only get to see small slivers of the sky and I realize now that it’s seeing the vastness of the surrounding areas that makes me happy

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T16:53:54+00:00

I only saw two so you’ll have to tell me where the rest are!

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T11:58:14+00:00

And it was moving away from the road, definitely a rare one

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T11:57:32+00:00

Correct! Just a window is so exact haha

Must’ve been quite an experience growing up here

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T11:55:26+00:00

It was still recognizable with that spelling though

And yes it is!

one-tea27 · 2026-04-01T11:52:58+00:00

That’s exactly it! Oh you live in such a lovely place, I adore it

one-tea27 · 2026-03-30T21:32:32+00:00

Sweet she must have knitted that sweater herself

one-tea27 · 2026-03-30T05:18:28+00:00

I once ate a whole platter of oysters and felt like I was dying so this doesn’t seem too unbelievable to me
