"The Snow Waste"

"Wilt thou chide love that is our second light/Because it shines upon him from my heart/Only a little less than upon thee?"

It has been going on a long time. 1913 or 2013. It doesn’t seem to matter sometimes. Sad.

Bizarre Victorian fact of the day…

vicfangirlguide:

In England in 1849 a coin was issued which was given the nickname the ‘Graceless’ or ‘Godless’ florin. This was because unlike all previous coins it did not carry the traditional inscriptions D.G (Dei Gratia - By God’s Grace) and F.D (Fidei Defensor - Defender of the Faith). A virulent cholera epidemic during that year was blamed on the Godless Florin and as a result the coin was withdrawn from circulation.
