So, I wake up today to hear that Heath Ledger has been found dead in his apartment. It always bothers me when actors die (especially young, Australian ones) because one can never really watch their movies the same way again. I keep thinking of the numerous death scenes he's been in, and whether or not they foreshadowed his tragic fate. I suppose he lived up to his namesake, in the end. A quote from Wuthering Heights to finish:
"I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break; and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter - the Eternity they have entered - where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fullness."

About Me
Featured Excerpt
"Kleito now slept soundly, indifferent to any of the thoughts which concerned her mother. Brushing a brown curl which had escaped waywardly across her forehead, I watched over her like a she-wolf, aware that the palace would be a very dangerous place for Amazons tonight. I didn’t love my daughter, but in the event of my demise, she would be the only part of me left. Thus, I was vigilantly careful for my own safety, and hers. Perhaps this was love.
