I wonder how many of the people he showed this to in 1521 Germany were like, “that’s not what they look like”

We should say they were on their phone the whole time

An illustration is from Swedish children's book Children of the Forest (Tomtebobarnen), written and illustrated by Elsa Beskow. Two small figures, often described as elves or forest children, are happily sledding down a snowy slope. Their small wooden sled is being pulled by a large white hare, which is harnessed with simple ropes. The scene is set in a snowy forest landscape. The children are dressed in white outfits and green pointed caps.

Screenshot of text from part IV of MacNeice’s poem “Autumn Journal”: “September has come and I wake And I think with joy how whatever, now or in future, the system Nothing whatever can take The people away, there will always be people For friends or for lovers though perhaps The conditions of love will be changed and its vices diminished And affection not lapse To narrow possessiveness, jealousy founded on vanity. September has come, it is hers Whose vitality leaps in the autumn, Whose nature prefers Trees without leaves and a fire in the fire-place; So I give her this month and the next Though the whole of my year should be hers who has rendered already So many of its days intolerable or perplexed But so many more so happy; Who has left a scent on my life and left my walls Dancing over and over with her shadow, Whose hair is twined in all my waterfalls And all of London littered with remembered kisses.”

MacNeice, from “Autumn Journal” (1938)
