@reviewwales Rather inevitably I have even drawn one for a book cover....😉

I am a bit late with inktober day 6. ‘Spirit’
but I ran out of steam a little last night and had to finish it this morning...

‘Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.’
 
Plato

This chap from the Wonder tales of the Thames is off to a new home with @HardingMike very soon.
Still one of my favourites from the past year. 🖤

On a grim prison hulk on the Thames the beautiful song of a unseen nightingale was a herald of a death, sometimes one of release, sometimes one of violent revenge...
from Wonder tales of the Thames and Estuary by R Hallmann.

@mrjamesmayhew Freedom, creatures, (hares especially) folklore and memories ❤️

We are but shadows on the earth
Our lives a passing dance in the sunlight

But we leave our song, and our story for others to share.
Words and melody.
our hearts shadow cast again and again
by whatever light is present.

‘She became rabbit and stoat.
She became hare and harrier.
She became lark and hawk, pigeon, partridge and plover. She became gorse and heather, couch grass and fern.
She knew the secret lore and language of the earth’

‘In the lowland of Creggan, there lives a white hare,
As swift as the swallow that flies through that air.
You may tramp the world over but none can compare
With the pride of low Creggan, the bonnie white hare’

She cannot be caught…

Rashiecoats is a particularly Scots version of the Cinderella story and all the better for it. 😉

No haverin’ on about pumpkin coaches and a girl who knows her own mind and takes matters into her own hands…

"Queen of the Dead and Mistress of the Year!"
-- His voice was the ripe ripple of the corn;
The touch of dew, the rush of morning air --
"Remember now the world where you were born;
The month of your return at last is here."
