Candelight Dreams

"These violent delights have violent ends
and in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
which, as they kiss, consume." -- William Shakespeare

"Bebamos! Nem um canto de saudade!
Morrem na embriaguez da vida as dores...
Que importam os sonhos, ilusões desfeitas?
Fenecem como as flores!" -- José Bonifácio

Hello, stranger! Glad you came by my little corner of the internet. Here you'll find scribbled notes, poetry, bookish opinions, pretty art and occasionally some cats roaming around.

This is a home for people who love fantasy, beauty, and all things literary, and for people who believe the best way to live a magical life is to romanticize it.

Content here, like my mind, is a funky bilingual mix of English and Portuguese. All translations are mine except when credited.

Have a nice cup of tea and enjoy your stay!

My interests:

Important: in this house, we don't discriminate. If you love Shakespeare, great, this is a home for you! If you are a fan of Sarah J. Maas, fantastic, you are welcome here! Literature should be for fun & enlightenment of the spirit, not for separation of us humans.
