Bohemian as fuck, talented, gorgeous and the effervescent mistress of men like Robert Pole and Henry Miller. Nin challenged the ideas of femininity and women’s sexuality, writing journals and erotica that can only be described as Écriture féminine.Honestly one of my heroes, and one woman that I would gladly have a tempestuous affair with.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls4ndt48111qeu6ilo1_500.jpg)

30 Days of Evangeline Lilly
Day 16 - Your favorite Kate season
The first season, definitely! Besides the fact that I’m a big fan of rebel!Kate, I also loved the way they kept her character very mysterious during this season. All her flashback episodes are exciting, and she was in every episode (which is always a great thing) :D Plus Evi looked so gorgeous! ♥
Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.
Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.
Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
