@patitogotico 🖤The magic of words, and the awesome power of a quote, to endure and resonate down the ages.
#SwampSunday
Once or twice of a night we would see a steamboat slipping along in the dark, now and then she would belch a whole world of sparks up out of her chimbleys, and they would rain down in the river and look awful pretty.–Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
For Mary, Mother of God, as May is her special month. ‘The Virgin and Child with St John and an Angel’ by Botticelli who died #OTD in 1510, an Early Renaissance painter beloved by the Pre-Raphaelites and me!
@Beth396 Gracias querida Beth. Feliz Lunes, amiga, que tengas un agradable día y una espléndida semana. Muchos cariños.

Look and see the saddle markings
Where the fairy warriors rode them.
(As they ride them still at midnight,
On Midsummer's Eve at midnight,
When we mortals all are sleeping.)
–Anne G. Biddlecombe.
This poem fixed the Pembrokeshire Corgi into fairy folklore.
#SwampSunday
Ever, ever
Stir and shiver
The reeds and rushes
By the river:
Ever, ever,
As if in dream,
The lone moon's silver
Sleeks the stream.
What old sorrow,
What lost love,
Moon, reeds, rushes,
Dream you of?– Walter de la Mare.
