"There's something I have to tell you. The books never hurt me. The ideal world of books has an atmosphere of poetry that purifies everything... do you hear?" (Letter from Renee Vivien)
“Il faut que je vous dise quelque chose : c'est que les livres ne m'ont jamais fait de mal. Le monde idéal des livres a une atmosphère de poésie qui épure Tout… entendez-vous ?” (Lettre de Renée Vivien)

dark academia but in 2020 and gen z
- staying up late in the dark reading wikipedia articles on obscure topics on your phone
- researching random things that caught your interest instead of paying attention to your zoom classes/ doing homework
- reading during zoom classes
- checking daily if your local library reopened
- notes app poetry at 4 am
- reading by candlelight at night just because lamps are too bright and you might get caught by your parents
- waking up early to watch the sunrise before online school
- developing a coffee addiction over quarantine
- wearing dramatic coats and button ups etc to just go to the supermarket
