“She is sensitive. She does not see the world as it is. She's a bit up in the clouds. She cannot fit in.”

Frank O'Hara, from Selected Poems; "Poem V (F) W"
[Text ID: you were walking down a street softened by rain / and your footsteps were quiet / and I came around the corner / inside the room / to close the window / and thought what a beautiful person / and it was you]
the thing about being alone is that it’s so peaceful and freeing and cool apart from the evenings you descend into literal hell
Sometimes as a woman it’s important for you to wake up late and be alone in the house on a cloudy cold day with your feelings.
T Tauri and Hind s Variable Nebula : The star with an orange tint near top center in this dusty telescopic frame is T Tauri, prototype of the class of T Tauri variable stars. Next to it (right) is a yellow cosmic cloud historically known as Hind’s Variable Nebula (NGC 1555). About 650 light-years away, at the boundary of the local bubble and the Taurus molecular cloud, both star and nebula are seen to vary significantly in brightness but not necessarily at the same time, adding to the mystery of the intriguing region. T Tauri stars are now generally recognized as young (less than a few million years old), sun-like stars still in the early stages of formation. To further complicate the picture, infrared observations indicate that T Tauri itself is part of a multiple system and suggest that the associated Hind’s Nebula may also contain a very young stellar object. The well-composed image spans about 8 light-years at the estimated distance of T Tauri. via NASA
