Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
The stones achase,
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
In lonesome place.

Today's writing progress:
🧜‍♀️I finally have a mermaid, except she's probably a wolf and doesn't like anybody;
🃏my main character cheated with a bit of help from a friend;
🎶the Galician troubadour is beginning to be fairly important, and I don't think anyone will mind.

I had to turn private a #Patreon post on Aphra Behn because these two paintings have been reported as explicit sexual content.
François Boucher would probably have been thrilled. I'm not so sure about Francesco Scaramuzza.

@tkunsman Maybe you've seen his Medusa.

Devils in disguise play a central role in the weird, quirky XIX Century "Ingoldsby Legends". One of the most famous scenes features a grand 'pas de deux' between the Dame of the House and 'that Nick'.

«See! He grasps it with horrid black claws».

Today's writing progress:
🪞 shifted backwards the scene in which the poet gives her mirror to my main character, which means they're much more complicit when they get ashore in Madeira;
🎼the lute made the poet melancholic for a long-lost friend.
