ROBIN'S NEST

for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death,”
― John Keats, Ode To A Nightingale

I am a shy daydreamer, wanderer of the moors, reader by candlelight, nostalgic soul, rabbit-hearted with pale hands, rosy cheeks, and teary eyes. Lover of classic literature, fairy tales, old folk stories, abandoned ruins, secret gardens, rainy nights, and lost treasures.

One of my favorite niche art genres is definitely “medieval Italian nobility absolutely pummeling each other in the face with snowballs”

(Details from the “January” fresco at the Castello del Buonconsiglio, Trento, c.1400)
