An Die Musik, Schubert - Dietrich Fischer Dieskau (by Drelnis)

I can’t ever even make it through listening to a recording of this damn song without really bawling. It’s so simple, so joyous and free and giving, so utterly thankful. It just rips me into little pieces.

She was no more than fourteen, but that heart had been broken, and had destroyed itself, savagely wounded by the outrage that had amazed and horrified her young childish conscience, overwhelmed her soul, pure as an angel’s, with unmerited shame, and torn from her a last cry of despair, unregarded, but defiantly shrieked into the dark night, into the blackness, the cold, the torrents of spring, while the wind howled….

vintageblackglamour: Opera legend Camilla Williams, photographed here by Carl Van Vechten in 1946, died on January 29, 2012 at her home in Bloomington, Indiana. Ms. Williams’ debut as Cio-Cio-San in Pucci’s Madama Butterfly” with the New York City Opera on May 15, 1946, was thought to make her the first African American woman to appear with a major U.S. opera company nine years before Marian Anderson’s historic debut at the more prestigious Metropolitan Opera. Ms. Williams sang at the March on Washington in 1963 and at Dr. King’s Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in 1964. A graduate of Virginia State College, Ms. Williams retired from opera in 1971 and taught college in New York before arriving at Indiana University where she remained until her retirement in 1997.

Tumblr never showed me this, WTFFFF “When Jonathan travels abroad,” begins Mina, her grip upon his hand one of steel, “my sister Lucy comes to me. Her body has no substance, not any longer, but she twines her limbs together with mine.” I like it! notophelia: theredshoes: MY GIRLS! ahahah I love them. Seriously one day I’ll write that AU takeoff where Lucy vamps Mina, the two of them suck the blood out of those idiots Harker Sewell et al, and then go off to ravage Europe. I’ll read it! And you might enjoy this, that a good friend wrote for Yuletide a couple years back: http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/60/forthe.html notophelia: glozzy: lacqueredinblack I still want the snake dress SO SO MUCH. Someday I’ll find an excuse (and time and money) to make it.
