I have seen faieries! Yes, I have! Well, i've seen them again because, actually, I've been seeing them since I was a toddler but for some reason at age 13th we grew apart. I guess it had to do with the fact me growing up and spend my time on the internet and stuff like that rather than searching for fairies in the forest. Anyways, I have have seen fairies, again! How wonderful, how happy I feel because, you see, this means I have kept my magic, I have not lost it in the "growing up box" like almost everyone do. No, I have not lost my magic, my sight, and now I can see fairies again! :)

The Sirens, 1892 by John Longstaff (Australian, 1861–1941)

[osoconlapiz]

"Tus huesos de hombre se pudrirán en el fondo del océano, sólo eso te mereces. En cuanto a tu carne traidora será devorada lentamente con poca delicadeza por los hambrientos colmillos de sirenas repletas de odio, es decir, tu corazón, traidor."

Godefridus Schalcken (Dutch, 1643-1706)

Diana and Her Nymphs in a Clearing, ca. 1680

[osoconlapiz]

Soy la diosa de los tribunales de ambrosía, Y de aquí salvadora, la Reina del Orgullo superado por ninguno cuyos templos blanquean este mundo; A lo largo del cielo hago rodar mi resplandeciente luna, Me deshago en el Infierno sobre mi paz de pálida gente, En la Tierra, yo, protejo a sus criaturas, guardia de cada loba preñada y del amarillo zorro que se esconde, Y de cada cría inexperta de madre con pluma, Y todo el amor de los verdes lugares solitarios que frecuentan.

"Será hasta la próxima, dulce chimenea que me abrigaste tanto, hasta luego linda familia que me alimentó y cuidó. Que la bendición de las alimañas les cubra de su manto protector hasta mi regreso con el viento sureño. Atte. Su gato negro."

Louis Léopold Robert (Swiss, 1794-1835)

Orange Pickers Near Capri, 1824

[osoconlapiz]

"Su cabello olía a flores de azahar y la piel de su cuello a pomelo. Era todo un terrible juego a parecerse cuanto más sea posible al cítrico, a la naranja de piel tersa y brillante con ese delicioso y jugoso interior listo para ser devorado."

I just crossed paths with these illustrations by Peter Connolly and I must share 🙊.

Look at Athena and Hera and Odypen at the top, all rocking mycenian garments I'm screaming crying doing the worm.

(then in the back there's Aphrodite, Apolo, Poseidon, Ares and others who are not named).
