Oh My Favorite Trope? Two People Who Go Through Something So Unique And Agonizing And Entirely Beyond

I fell in love with these flowers last year when I started gathering mushrooms - the forests around me are filled with these and I just love the patterns on their leaves!

me reblogging this as a stone

“It is extraordinary that nobody nowadays under the stress of great troubles is turned into stone or a bird or a tree or some inanimate object; they used to undergo such metamorphoses in ancient times (or so they say), though whether that is myth or a true story I know not. Maybe it would be better to change one’s nature into something that lacks all feeling, rather than be so sensitive to evil. Had that been possible, these calamities would in all probability have turned me to stone.”

— The Alexiad, written by Anna Komnene, the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, c. 1148.
