"And cried, homesick for his fair native lake:
"Rain, when will you fall? Thunder, when will you roll?"
I see that hapless bird, that strange and fatal myth"
(Baudelaire)

The Threatened Swan, Jan Asselijn, c. 1650.

The swan defends its nest against a dog (on left). Later treated as an allegory of Johan de Witt’s defence of his country. De Witt was assassinated in 1672.

Botober AI prompt day 17: Dangerous Swans. This one was easy because that’s just how swans really are. Thanks and apologies to Jan Asselijn whose art I shamelessly plundered.
