The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Across spaces of their individual paintings, Isabella Coymans offers Stephanus Geraerdts a token of her love, and he waits to receive it. Just a brilliant marriage portrait by Frans Hals, 1650.

Look up in Parma's cathedral and glimpse a drama: Mary, borne aloft by host of angels, while her son drops down from empyrean to meet her. Amazing illusion by Antonio da Correggio, whose day is today.

A delicate corn-field dress for Lammas, for running through the edgelands, through the yarrow & the poppies under a baleful dog-star bright in the ebbing sky. For slow witchcraft & trembling hare wisdom & the settling of old accounts, a heavy purse cast in a clear, cold brook.

🐚SHELL GAME🎴
To while away those rainy afternoons...a game of 'kai-awase' (貝合わせ).
Traditional or seasonal scenes are painted in elaborate detail on the inside of shells. The aim of the game is to find pairs amongst the shells (each half related in some way).

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

Thread: Saturday is Imbolc, which celebrates the first day of Spring in Ireland. It is an ancient Gaelic-Celtic feast & is also marked as St Bridget’s Day, its Christian re-incarnation. In schools children make Bridget’s crosses to celebrate it. (pictured: Hill of Tara)
