That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

In The Abyss...
John Bauer (1882-1918), illustrator and Swedish painter.
This artist will realize the illustrations of tales, but will never stop doubting of his talent, dreaming of painting essentialy with oil, the "true art", but not being able to spend a lot of time on it for lack of money.
He died tragically with his family in 1918, after the capsize of the boat supposed to bring them to a new house in Stockholm.
(The pictures show, in order: Lena dances with the knight, 1915 ; The Swan princess, 1908 ; From time to time, the intrigue took the reins, unknown date ; A knight rode on, 1915 ; Agneta and Sjökungen, 1910 ; Princess Tuvstarr gazing down into the dark waters of the forest tarn, 1913 ; One summer's evening they went with Bianca Maria deep into the forest, 1913 ; The magic ride, 1910 ; Look at them," troll mother said. "Look at my sons! You won't find more beautiful trolls on this side of the moon, 1915 ; and finally, Agneta and Sjökungen)
The East of the Sun and West of the Moon
Kay Nielsen (1886-1957), Danish illustrator.
This artist is known to have been hired in 1939 by Disney, in order to carry out studies as part of the future film projects of the firm, and will remain, in the end, a short time in this job, judging it in all the extent of his career.
The essence of his work consists in an important quantity of illustrations of tales or collections, in the first half of the twentieth century, in what will be called the Golden Age of illustration.
His style, characteristic of Art Nouveau, is recognizable among all, with its impacting strong black backgrounds and elegant and graceful characters.
(The pictures are illustrations from The East of the Sun and West of the Moon, 1914 ; and belong to public domain)

Odeio isso tudo, odeio cada ponto, cada lugarzinho, cada segundo, só queria conseguir dormir logo e acordar quando tudo estivesse diferente
