The swans ring the bell to be fed at the Bishop’s Palace, Wells, Somerset.

The tradition of Swans on the Moat at The Bishop’s Palace( adjacent to Wells Cathedral) goes back to 1870’s when one of Bishop Hervey’s daughters first taught the swans to ring a bell at the Gatehouse for for lunch to be fed to them by the caretakers who live in the gatehouse.

You can see the bell just beneath the window of the Gatehouse, with a rope hanging down for the swans to pull.

New generations of swans learn to ring the bell from their parents.

“You asked if you should call. I asked if I should visit. We both fell back into our whiskey, neither of us thinking this would be the last time we didn’t say goodbye.”

“Sadness is nothing new to me. It becomes a routine, a ritual. But you are so loved, you are so loved. It’s an emptiness I can’t describe. A hollowness that persists no matter how much of me is filled. Why aren’t you happy? Why aren’t you happy? I start to hate all religions. I burn all altars, destroy anything that resembles forgiveness, salvation. After all, what kind of cruel god would let a pain like this exist?”

— Tina Tran, Sadness is the new black

“This is how I learned to love. Fleeting; in a panic; a frenzy; watching as the wicked unfolds.”
