Adonis painted by a running brook,
And Cytherea all in sedges hid,
Which seem to move and wanton with her breath
Even as the waving sedges play wi' th' wind.
–The Taming Of The Shrew.
Prologue, 2.

Here, during the Viséan age, Lower Carboniferous, swamps covered the territory that would become Scotland. They were home of unusual giants: arthropods and arborescent lycophytes grew to extraordinary sizes.

I might use the word "giant" a lot in this thread!

“Up the still, glistening beaches,
Up the creeks we will hie,
Over banks of bright seaweed
The ebb-tide leaves dry.
...
Singing: "There dwells a loved one,
But cruel is she!
She left lonely for ever
The kings of the sea" (Matthew Arnold)

“All the infections that the sun sucks up
From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall, and make him
By inch-meal a disease!”

Mélusine is a figure of European folklore, a female spirit of fresh water in a holy well or river. She is usually depicted as a woman who is a serpent or fish from the waist down (much like a mermaid). She is also sometimes illustrated with wings, two tails, or both.

And forever and forever,
As long as the river flows,
As long as the heart has passions,
As long as life has woes;
The moon and its broken reflection
And its shadows shall appear
As the symbol of love in heaven,
And its wavering image here.
— H W Longfellow.

“… in Wendsyssel… in the north of Jutland… There is still a great bog there. It may well be called the Wild Bog, and one can easily imagine how desolate and dreary it was among all these swamps and pools a thousand years ago.” (Andersen)

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
