His Dark Materials

hisdarkmaterialstrilogy:

Dear reader,

I am writing this to you in a state of despair. I think we can all agree that, in contrast to the book it was based on, the film The Golden Compass was terrible. 

As such, I have decided that, should anyone out there actually want to remake it, they can come here. I’ll be blogging things that inspire my imagination from the story, that make it come alive.  Pictures, photographs, drawings, anything I find that makes me think “that would be a good way of representing something in His Dark Materials”.

I hope you enjoy everything you find here.

I am, yours in faith,

Jean Hollywood

“She wondered whether there would ever come an hour in her life when she didn’t think of him - didn’t speak to him in her head, didn’t relive every moment they’d been together, didn’t long for his voice, his hands, and his love. She had never dreamed of what it would feel like to love someone so much, and of all the things that had astonished her in her adventures, that was what astonished her the most.”

Just once a year – if we could come here at the same time, just for an hour or something, then we could pretend we were close again – because we would be close, if you sat here and I sat just here in my world…”

“Yes,” he said, “as long as I live, I’ll come back. Wherever I am in the world, I’ll come back here–”

“On Midsummer Day,” she said. “At midday. As long as I live. As long as I live…”

“And I came to believe that good and evil are names for what people do, not for what they are. All we can say is that this is a good deed, because it helps someone or that’s an evil one because it hurts them. People are too complicated to have simple labels.”

“Mrs Coulter, loosening the cramped way some roses had been bunched into a vase, saw that Lyra wasn’t moving and glanced pointedly at the door.”
