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.

Ovid tells us that the cursed Nymph Echo wasted away for love, disappearing in everything but sound. According to an author from Lesbos, however, it was the god Pan who drove mad a group of men in the fields and had her shredded as he envied her voice and virtue.

According to legend, the first Emerald was a crown jewel worn by Lucifer. After his unsuccessful rebellion, his attire was destroyed but the gemstone tumbled out while he was falling. It's a long fall, after all.

@tkunsman Maybe you've seen his Medusa.
