Quote reblogged from Tree Stump Palace with 81 notes
His skin covers me entirely; we are like two halves of a seed, enclosed in the same integument. I should like to grow enormously small, so that you could swallow me, like those queens in fairy tales who conceive when they swallow a grain of corn or sesame seed. Then I could lodge inside your body and you would bear me.
From The Erl-king by Angela Carter
