On the bat's back I do fly.

Who’ll reveal to our waking ken
The forms that swim & the shapes that creep
Under the waters of sleep?
& I would I could know what swimmeth below when the tide comes in
On the length & the breadth of the marvellous marshes of Glynn.–Sidney Lanier, MarshesOfGlynn

Kupala Night, an ancient Slavic festival of light held in summer. Many of the rites connected to it involve the cleansing elements of fire & water. One ritual sees young women floating candle-lit wreaths, to foretell their romantic fortune.

#FaustianFriday
Under the mile off moon we trembled listening
To the sea sound flowing like blood from the loud wound
And when the salt sheet broke in a storm of singing
The voices of all the drowned swam on the wind.
–Dylan Thomas, Lie Still, Sleep Becalmed.
