Heaven, to keep its beauty,
cast him out, but even Hell itself would not receive him
for fear the wicked there might glory over him.

Neutral Angel without my wings.

Photo reblogged from The Daily What with 236 notes

thedailywhat: Photo Set of the Day: Gallery of the black-listed Edwardian drunks of Birmingham, circa 1904. From the Daily Mail: Angry, bewildered and shame-faced these Edwardian drunks stare into the lens of the police camera. They were ‘habitual drunkards’ whose offences included being caught while in charge of a horse, carriage and even a steam engine. Issued a century ago, the drunks were given the equivalent of modern-day Asbos in that they were banned from being served in pubs because of their past behaviour. The Black List was kept intact at Holt Brewery for over a century, and made available to the public by Ancestry.co.uk. [dailymail.]  I’ve been drunker than ten good men, as my dad was fond of saying, but never so much that AN ENTIRE FUCKING TOWN GAVE ME A LEGAL INTERVENTION.
