Description



—Nay if even in the house of Hades the dead forget their dead,
yet will I even there be mindful of my dear comrade.


Line from Homer’s The Iliad, added at Thomas Jefferson’s request on the grave of his wife, Martha Jefferson.



-
soooooooooo... an old Thomas and his ghosts/memories.

in my head, this scene happens when he is writing his biography and this specific line about Martha's death: "[In 1782] I lost the cherished companion of my life, in whose affections, unabated on both sides I had lived the last ten years in unchequered happiness."

okay... THIS IS CREEPY AS HELL I'M SORRY! but it was so much fun to do



****DON'T REPOST ON TUMBLR****



note: as i received messages because of my previous drawing with these twi saying: "but... Martha is dead. what are you gonna draw with these two now?!", let me just say that i don't draw chronologically (she can be dead AND live again after) so i will keep drawing them :)
