Blogspiration #1


Blogspiration is a weekly meme hosted by both GrowingUp YA and Saz101. The meme was created to help spark inspiration among bloggers, readers and writers alike. An inspirational quote/picture/video is posted weekly, on the day of the author's choosing, so that it may inspire creativity, conversation or just a little SOMETHING.






I have such a headache from messing around with my blog, and it still needs so much improvement! But I get to start joining in on some of the fun stuff now, so that's quite exciting!

I'm going to start off with one of my favorite quotes from my favorite author, Oscar Wilde. It's from his poem, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol."

It's so hopeful and vivid. And desperate, too. This is probably one of the poems that have captured my heart the most because of the mixture of blood and beauty. I just love what I've seen of Wilde's writing, even though I haven't even gotten through much of it.

    Oh, Sophie, WOW! I LOVE this! I've actually never heard/seen/read it before, but... I love it when you see those poems that are beautiful on purely superficial level--they're lyrical and musical and beautiful... but that hold such meaning. I LOVE this. Thank you so so SO much for sharing ♥
