However, the stain glass wasn’t the only…

Cocaine, while being a drug pharmacologically different from the choice recreational pharmaceuticals of the past, most notably opium and hashish, occupies a niche within the greater domain of drug culture among the Avant-Garde and the production of drug literature in particular. “The role…

The poem essentially says that if a man falls in love with a woman who is plain, then she is the most beautiful women in the world. The man loves this…

My mom kept telling me that she loves how I was wearing a Hogwarts shirt, at Hogwarts. When we first walked up to the entrance, we all were shocked. Me and my parents all are big Harry Potter fans. I…
