The Suite of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna at the
Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg
“It is spring, and the night wind is moist with the smell of turned loam and the early flowers; the moon pours out its beauty which you see as beauty finally, warm and offering everything. You have only to take.”
— Margaret Atwood, from Selected Poems II: 1976 - 1986 (via cafetoile)
