‘The rain set early in to-night,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
And did its worst to vex the lake:
I listened with heart fit to break.’ Browning, Porphyria’s Lover, pub. 1836.
🖼 Melancholy, Edvard Munch, 1894. #FaustianFriday

It is unlucky to kill a blue dragonfly. A little awkward because it will bring you luck if you place the wings of a blue dragonfly between the pages of a religious book. #SuperstitionSat (Evans, 1845. Shaw, C18th)
