This is one of my favourite poems by Szymborska (or, uh, the one I once started to learn by heart and so, I can quote quite a lot of; it's not like I have a... short list of my favourite poems by this author, not really; she has eaten too much of my brain too long ago :)):

A Soliloquy for Cassandra )

doctor who, sherlock, literature, szymborska

Oh, I love Szymborska so badly. And yes, it fits, at least to Sherlock as I haven't seen Doctor Who yet XD

Hm, I think Sherlock would totes read Szymborska. ;P She's dry and unsentimental, perfect for him. :D

Any sorts of positive comments on this author are welcome in this journal. :D

I like your icon again. :) I mean, I don't know the context, but I like it for aesthetical reasons (i.e. I like the picture :p).
