In Celtic lore, fairies were not tiny, winged beings but ancient spirits of the land—powerful, beautiful, and unpredictable. They belonged to another world that brushed close to ours, seen only in twilight and dream. #FolkloreSunday 🎨Bella Ceramica

Bha Àrd-sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu a' comharrachadh Latha Bàrdachd na Cruinne an-diugh, agus leis gur e Seachdain na Gearmailtis a th' ann, bha sgoilearan a' leughadh bàrdachd Rilke. Abair seachdain inntinneach a bha againn! #ShoutOutForGerman #WorldPoetryDay @senoract.bsky.social

Dear Opera House, I’m sorry I missed Valentines Day yesterday (Sydney time), I was distracted and completely forgot. Here’s a shot of you at dawn this morning as a sign you’re always in my heart.

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us An’ foolish notion: What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us, And ev’n Devotion! —Robert Burns, “To a Louse” @luathpress.bsky.social, illus. Bob Dewar #BurnsNight luath.co.uk/products/poe...
To a Louse, On Seeing one on a Lady’s Bonnet at Church
Robert Burns

Ha! whare ye gaun, ye crowlan ferlie!
Your impudence protects you sairly:
I canna say but ye strunt rarely,
Owre gawze and lace;
Tho’ faith, I fear ye dine but sparely,
On sic a place.

Ye ugly, creepan, blastet wonner,
Detested, shunn’d, by saunt an’ sinner,
How daur ye set your fit upon her,
Sae fine a Lady!
Gae somewhere else and seek your dinner,
On some poor body.

Swith, in some beggar’s haffet squattle;
There ye may creep, and sprawl, and sprattle,
Wi’ ither kindred, jumping cattle,
In shoals and nations;
Whare horn nor bane ne’er daur unsettle,
Your thick plantations.A black-and-white pen drawing of a lady in profile, looking to the left. She has a self-satisfied expression on her face and is wearing a huge bonnet, tied on with an enormous bow and topped with more bows and two slightly bedraggled feathers. A large, fat, creepy-crawly hovers above her.Now haud you there, ye’re out o’ sight,
Below the fatt’rels, snug and tight,
Na faith ye yet! ye’ll no be right,
Till ye’ve got on it,
The vera topmost, towrin height
O’ Miss’s bonnet.

My sooth! right bauld ye set your nose out,
As plump an’ gray as onie grozet:
O for some rank, mercurial rozet,
Or fell, red smeddum,
I’d gie you sic a hearty dose o’t,
Wad dress your droddum!

I wad na been surpriz’d to spy
You on an auld wife’s flainen toy;
Or aiblins some bit duddie boy,
On ’s wylecoat;
But Miss’s fine Lunardi, fye!
How daur ye do ’t?O Jenny dinna toss your head,
An’ set your beauties a’ abread!
Ye little ken what cursed speed
The blastie’s makin!
Thae winks and finger-ends, I dread,
Are notice takin!

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An’ foolish notion:
What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us,
And ev’n Devotion!
