these rainy days i've been traveling around in a boat filled with salt, thinking of a few of my favorite doomed ladies.

I love that painting of Lady Jane. When I was a little girl, I caught the movie on HBO with Helena Bonham Carter and Cary Elwes. The morbid reluctant love story is a great rainy day rental and I had a crush on Cary Elwes for years as a result.
I actually saw this painting housed in the National Gallery in London. Knowing the back story gives this painting an even more powerful impact.
