I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can't help re-living such moments as these in my dreams, for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced. I am going to dream about you the whole night, the whole week, the whole year...
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights
Call me Shugyo. Some years ago–never mind how long precisely–having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me in real life, I thought I would sail about a little and see the web-y part of the world. Bluestocking + lover of old things. I post about Dostoevsky, Napoleonic Wars, older movies, Persuasion, seafaring, Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes, Tintin, and more. This site was created as a personal hobby, thanks for enjoying it with me—and cheers! 🥛 |
