“I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.” – John Keats

Louis and Lestat. I doubt there were many quiet moments like this because Lestat is Lestat and does not have an inside voice, but I’m sure Louis appreciates them all the more for their rarity. I always imagine Louis to be fond of bundling up in thick blankets while Lestat wants one thin sheet or nothing at all. When they snuggle outside of their coffins, that is.
I’ve got a class on deciphering eighteenth- and nineteenth-century #handwriting today. Last week we tried to transcribe a photocopy of Keats’s draft of Ode to Autumn. #johnkeats #keats #studygram #studyblr #classicliterature #potd (at University of Oxford)
Deleted scene – Only Lovers Left Alive dir. Jim Jarmusch (2014)
This Living Hand
This living hand, now warm and capable
Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold
And in the icy silence of the tomb,
So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights
That thou wouldst wish thine own heart dry of blood
So in my veins red life might stream again,
And thou be conscience-calmed—see here it is—
I hold it towards you.-John Keats
I will never be okay with the fact that this wasn’t in the film.
