Had a wonderfully educational day at the local culture museum.

Much culture and ancient frog.

Knowledge, fashion, someones long lost marbles and a disturbing illustration of a horse.

And intense eye contact (btw this gent is related to the IA state governors in some manner from back in the day. But he looks like my irl friend which is odd but neat.)

Also a young lass in the lobby proudly announced the mammoth miniature on display by the skeleton was her grandpa.

Sagacity

Elucidate us

in your furnace

Warm us

with your sagacity

🌑

For you are

a God

to whom

we bow

A Sagacious Caturday

This wood engraving is an illustration for the story “The Cat and the Blackbirds”  from our 1870s George Routledge and Sons publication The Children’s Picture-Book of the Sagacity of Animals. The story concerns the ferocity of two blackbirds that successful repel a determined cat from pilfering the eggs in their nest. Poor kitty!

This illustration by the English artist Harrison Weir (1824-1906) was engraved by John Greenaway (1818 - 1890), the father of the famous children’s book author and illustrator Kate Greenaway.

Now, instead of being just attracted, I was really in love, and it seemed that a thin, grey veil had fallen from my eyes and that the world lay before me in its original divine light as it does to children, and as it appears to us in our dreams of Paradise.
