#SwampSunday
#ofdarkandmacabre

There is a coal-black Angel
[…]
And he dwells (like the hunted and harried)
In a swamp where the green frogs dip.
[…]
He breathes with a breath that is blastment
And dooms by a far decree.
[…]
There’s a scream that screams up to the zenith

A rat probably doesn’t spring to mind as heroic. But the specially trained African giant pouched rats save lives by detecting land mines (or tuberculosis samples). They can sniff out land mines and scratch at the surface to let people know where one is buried.

Ship’ s cats were believed to have miraculous powers that could protect ships from dangerous weather.

This may be rooted in reality. Cats are able to detect slight changes in the weather, as a result of their very sensitive inner ears.

Artemis (2/2)

Artemis as the Moon Goddess was honored by round cakes called amphiphontes (“shining all around”), in which dadia were stuck („little torches).
That may be the origin of the modern „birthday cake“.

The walls of the palace were formed of drifted snow, and the windows and doors of the cutting winds. [The rooms] were so large and empty, so icy cold and glittering! There were no amusements here[…] Empty, vast, and cold were the halls of the Snow Queen.

(1/2) William Wordsworth—
How beautiful the Queen of Night, on high
Her way pursuing among scattered clouds,
Where, ever and anon, her head she shrouds …

🖼 Johann Jacob Haid, ~1750: Queen of the night/Selenicereus grandiflorus
