Painting of ghostly figure in musty, murky forest scene.

🖼️ Forest Ghost, Ladislav Mednyánszky, 1890.
A painting of a nude, but covered, man embracing a woman who is half in the ocean. They are as blue as the waves and we cannot see her legs which are perhaps really a tail?
He realized how little he knew of this world, but he knew this: If you could love someone, you possessed a soul.
-Alice Hoffman-

Oh, that's awesome to hear 🖤🖤🖤
A painting of an amorphized flea made to look like a grotesque and muscular man carrying both a cup to catch blood and an implement to spill it. The background looks like a theater stage set with stars.
The Ghost of a Flea by William Blake
The inspiration behind this painting is rumored to be Blake's assertion that fleas are inhabited by the souls of men who behaved in the same bloodthirsty manner in life.

A gentle reminder that it's #PhantomsFriday tomorrow, it being Friday and everything. All posts on ghosts - #folklore, #fiction, #poetry, #art, stuff about #haunted places and spooks in popular culture - will be most welcome. (I say, what a lot of hashtags!).
"... then the old and holy figure of Romance, cloaked even to the face, comes down out of hilly woodlands and bids dark shadows to rise and dance, and sends the forest creatures forth to prowl..."

A black and white illustration of a woman from the neck up. Her face has two non-graphic splits in it where flowers are growing
And she was killed. The way that people are. A little piece at first then all at once.

I'm sure scooting on your ass in order to take someone down with your legs is a very useful skill for an fbi agent and not just shoveling taxpayer money to ufc because it's owned by trump allies
*reminder, finding moments of joy is not a betrayal of compassion
1) Surprise weather: warm enough to watch the sunset from my deck w/ wild bunnies & 🍷, then treated to non hazardous pretty snow, what's next?
2) My dress has patterns reminiscent of The Unicorn Tapestries
3) As always, this dork
I never heard that before either-- very fitting 😄
“Sweet, in opening spring, to trace upon the hill-side, otherwise gray and bare—to trace, I say, the oldest paths by their streaks of earliest green. Sweet, indeed, I can’t deny” — the piazza tales, Herman Melville #melvillemonday #naturesky #bloomsky #literature
Thank you, this looks really good, found it at the library and couldn't resist snagging this one as well 🖤
*The linked ebook is free & includes Nielsen's illustrations*
A full and elaborate illustration of the hero and heroine of the referenced tale in their bedroom: she is on her knees holding his hand and he is starting towards the door looking regretful that he has to go.
In East of the Sun and West of the Moon in the familiar beastly husband trope, the heroine's father gives her to a bear who ends up being a prince. Once she sees his true form, she must complete an elaborate quest to end his enchantment.

Glad you are home!! 🖤
The word “tattoo” has two distinct meanings, with two distinct etymologies.
The first, meaning skin art, comes from Polynesian. The second, meaning a military drumbeat, comes from the Dutch.

"The framing by which I came to understand the struggle for Black liberation and equality in America — and the ways to address it — was shaped, in part, by Jackson’s voice and his actions," Alden Loury writes of the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
“It finally happened! After months of feeding them, a crow left me a gift.”
“Omg, what is that?”
“It’s #jewelry, a ring. Isn’t it wonderful? Why do you look like that?”
“There’s a finger attached to it.”
“Relax, it’s ok”
“How is it ok?”
“A little dish soap ought to loosen it.”

Did they really need to drag Ursula's name into this?
