The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

"He has bequeathed to them His life, by which death has been swallowed up; His righteousness, by which He has blotted out their sins; His redemption, by which He has conquered eternal damnation. A poor soul, dead in trespasses and sins, chained to the portals of hell, cannot possibly hear a more comforting message than the precious news of what Christ has done for him. His heart leaps for joy and gratefulness, that is, if he believes the good news."

— Martin Luther (via gothicchristian)
