According to J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens", fall is the time when the little people weave their summer curtains from skeleton leaves.
Arthur Rackham beautifully illustrated this scene in what is probably one of his most inspired works.

Arnold Böcklin (1827 - 1901), "Vestalin"

Félicien Rops, "The Sphinx".

The watercolour was done between 1878 and 1881, and... well, there's a lady who really likes mystery (or half-lioness women) and a green devil seems to approve of her buttocks. I'm sure there's a metaphor here, somewhere.

It really is beautiful when people are kind.

Today's writing progress:
🖖spent two hours figuring out the 1702 equivalent of "we're being hailed";
