Tattered breath flows out of me
Duvet and sheet sag silently
And yet, you, still.
Reminded unforgivingly
Of the things I cannot be
And which, I will.

Midjourney: A young woman wearing a white dress sits on a bed in a Victorian farm house


Thursday, 15 July 1847

The humid air of the cape, which had overly embraced us to-day, began off the coast to consider greater ambitions. It would seek us out to-night for wet kisses and sudden discharges of electric energy. I feared for Ophelie in her barn loft, but reminded myself that the barn animals have always been safe there, and she would be as well.

The reason 19th century dresses had white collars and white cuffs is that … they didn't! These are undergarments turned over the edges. #19thcentury dresses needed to be dry-cleaned before practical dry-cleaning existed.

Much underclothing was used to keep dresses from contact with skin; working women wore aprons to protect the fronts. At the end of the day, dresses were hung up and brushed lightly.

It is instead the child of sovereignty.
