only to feel a thing

there is something about elizabeth & james that always makes me say the word 'stoic' in my head. over and over until it has completely lost meaning and i'm not sure if it is even a word anymore.

it also tends to make me think of extremely complicated stillness. and a calm sophistication.

make of that what you will.
