Goodnight.
New Moon, James Blanding Sloan.
The work depicts a nighttime landscape with a crescent moon visible in the sky. Silhouetted in the background, a house is visible, a winding road, trees in the foreground.

Jane Avril
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's portrayal of Jane Avril captures the dancer in a dynamic pose, accentuated by flowing lines and vibrant colors, characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement. Known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife, Lautrec's lithograph celebrates Avril's distinctive presence and theatrical flair.

Folklore is a living force. The infrastructure may change from wooden bridge to concrete flyover, but folklore adapts, finds a new life among us. Half-there Folk, Lords of Underside and of course Whisperers, still loiter despite the traffic spluttering above them. – Dr. M. Benn

Sad thing is that to stop all this it would take only about a dozen people phoning their congresspeople to complain.

“I once had a garden. I can remember the smell of the turned earth, the plump shapes of bulbs held in the hands, fullness, the dry rustle of seeds through the fingers.

“Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide,
And wash my Body whence the Life has died,
And in a winding sheet of Vine-leaf wrapt,
So bury me by some sweet Garden-side.”

(Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam)

🎨 Edmund Dulac

#bookwormsat
In a delicate, pastel garden scene, a dark-haired woman in an orange robe leans on a pale stone parapet, scattering white petals in quiet thought. Around her, climbing roses and a flowering tree spill white and pink blossoms over the wall, softening the architecture with a fragrant haze. Beyond the terrace, tall cypress trees rise against a pale sky, and a domed pavilion with an arched colonnade and slender tower sits on a hillside, giving the whole image the dreamy, Persianate romance of Dulac’s Rubaiyat illustrations.

Gardens

In an Old Town Garden (1916) by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
IN AN OLD TOWN GARDEN Shut from the clamor of the street By an old wall with lichen grown, It holds apart from jar and fret A peace and beauty all its own. The freshness of the springtime rains And dews of morning linger here; It holds the glow of summer noons And ripest twilights of the year. Above its bloom the evening stars Look down at closing of the day, And in its sweet and shady walks Winds spent with roaming love to stray, Upgathering to themselves the breath Of wide-blown roses white and red, The spice of musk and lavender Along its winding alleys shed. Outside are shadeless, troubled streets And souls that quest for gold and gain, Lips that have long forgot to smile And hearts that burn and ache with pain. But here is all the sweet of dreams, The grace of prayer, the boon of rest, The spirit of old songs and loves Dwells in this garden blossom-blest. Here would I linger for a space, And walk herein with memory; The world will pass me as it may And hope will minister to me.

"I cannot tell you how glad I am to have you here, Harold," he whispered shyly.
"It was very good of your father to ask me."
"To ask you! But it all belongs to you! It has been waiting for you for so long - and at last you have come."
- Forrest Reid, 'The Garden God'
