The Victory, 1939

- René Magritte

[nerd-artist]

It's been a fun bit of solidarity looking at the notes for your Talanah art and knowing we are all collectively losing it because of that amazing piece. How's it feel to completely dismantle the image of "normal" I had going? Because that AU art owns my soul rn.

Apparently I still don't know how Tumblr works because I had this ask waiting for more than a year. I’m so sorry, I’m the worst!

I guess this was referred to that Talanah as the goddess Nike I made (because she wins every poll, and everything, in general 😉). I’m so glad to have helped to transform your soul, I hope you feel more “normal” by now, Anon 💖✨✨✨

Thank you so SO much for your words, here is another Talanah to compensate the waiting.

I promise to check my inbox frequently, I’d love to have more of these.

Edit: Thank you @kelsochronicles for letting me use one of your amazing shots as a reference for this 💖

rene magritte - the victory

[marryat92]

In The Life and Letters of Captain Frederick Marryat, Florence Marryat included some unpublished and incomplete manuscripts from her father's papers. Among them was "The Victory", about the Battle of Trafalgar, a poem described by Florence as a "sea song." Here are the first two stanzas:

Stop the fiddle! cease your reeling!

All now gather close to me.

Silence, girls, while I’m revealing

How we gained the victory.

Off Trafalgar’s Cape, long seeking,

Nelson’s flag was at the fore;

In close order, two lines keeping,

Down upon the foe we bore.

II.

In a crescent wide extended,

They received us to engage;

Soon the morning’s brightness ended —

All obscured by battle’s rage.

Up the bunting runs again, boys;

Break the stops, the flags blow clear!

When the signal was explained, boys,

Then, indeed, there was a cheer!

'Plan of the Battle of Trafalgar': print with Cuthbert Collingwood and Horatio Nelson in insets.
