Madeline




While he spoke, the lady Madeline (for so was she called) passed through a remote portion of the apartment, and, without having noticed my presence, disappeared.

I regarded her with an utter astonishment not unmingled with dread; and yet I found it impossible to account for such feelings. A sensation of stupor oppressed me as my eyes followed her retreating steps.

Notes: The above quoted lines come from Edgar Allan Poe's famous "The Fall of the House of Usher."

I'm afraid that between school, being sick, briefly hospitalized, and trying to recover, I haven't been able to update as much as I would like. Nonetheless, it has been my intention for a good while to post these pictures of Madeline in her gorgeous blue dress (made by the excellent AyuAna), and so I feel happy to finally have the opportunity.
