I know the purity of pure despair,
My shadow pinned against a sweating wall.
That place among the rocks—is it a cave,
Or winding path? The edge is what I have.

Theodore Roethke, from “In a Dark Time” (via proustitute)

Can’t pass him up.

(via journalofanobody)

Beard Token

About

In 1705, Emperor Peter I of Russia instituted a beard tax. Those who paid the tax were required to carry a "beard token".

This site celebrates and explores the bearded aesthetic everywhere. It's 2 parts whiskey to 3 parts testosterone mixed in a two-stroke engine and served in a goat horn. So follow if you're adventurous.
