And I absolutely ADORED them. I wanna get a tattoo about Lemony snicket in honor of the work he's done, he has inspired me greatly. Love the tattoo by the way, quite jealous! Always wanted a tattoo with that line, but not sure if I will. Alot of people's got it already, but we'll see.

The poem is direct, and the first line of Swinburne's poem is actually "Here, where the world is quiet." It is, coincidentally, my favorite poem, and I loved what Lemony Snicket did with it in that book. I've been trying to decide for a long time whether I want the first line or the whole poem of Swinburne's on my ribs.

I so want a literary tattoo on my forearm in a typewriter font! I don't know what font this is, but I found one which, if it isn't it, is very close - http://www.box.net/shared/2s94auy2lc . :) I just adore this tattoo, I come back to this site every week or so just to look at it… I so want a literary tattoo on my forearm in a typewriter font!
