Wanda Gag

I felt a shudder right through me, quaking. I feel my thighs go loose and hot. Oh, it’s a sickness. A sickness. I swoon into it. She is telling, she is finally telling. It’s like dipping your toe in a magical lake in some fairy tale.

Anomaly 100

How can we stifle the long, the old Remorse

That lives, writhes, twists itself

And mines us as the worm devours the dead,

The caterpillar the oak?

How can we stifle the old, the long Remorse?

— Charles Baudelaire
