Ballpoint pen ink illustration of a snail carrying a banner with the affirmation "you are safe here". The background is full of leaves and a few leaves growing on the snails shell.
A new little hand drawn snail affirmation bookmark is up in my ko-fi for #BookWormSaturday 🌿✨️ Snails were often used a symbol of safety in historical art and I feel like we all need a little snail safety atm 🐌

“Satan? I am not Satan!" the beast growled. "I am Krampus, the Lord of Yule. Now if you do not get out of my way I will tear out your heart and eat it!”

Ghostly woman hovers over a man in knee breeches crouching on a grave.
Promise me nothing. One day you will buy
Another ring, you know.
Then, if the dead walk in their sleep, must I
Come, shivering, back to say—'I told you so.’?
From "A Woman's Last Word," Sarah Piatt

Reliably informed I should also tag this as #BookWormSaturday - so here goes…
Ted Chiang - "Exhalation" (cover design of imagined lungs with gears and birds mixed in, against dark blue background). Highly recommend this short story.
‘Will it be preferable to remain mute to prolong our ability to think, or to talk until the very end?’
"Exhalation" by Ted Chiang.
#BookWormSaturday - celebrating short stories
Painting of sunrise or sunset over a calm sea. Lemon yellows and blue- greys. The sun peeps over a thick line of cloud above the horizon. It is reflected on foreground ripples. Suggests maybe a moment of unexpected happiness.
'But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else.'
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

Mother Medea in a green smock
Moves humbly as any housewife through
Her ruined apartments, taking stock
Of charred shoes, the sodden upholstery…
Sylvia Plath Aftermath
Stinsford Churchyard and the graves of Hardy and Cecil Day Lewis- I don’t think they’d mind illustrating Houseman’s poem…
Is my girl happy
That I thought hard to leave
And has she tired of weeping
As she lies down at eve?
Ay, she lies down lightly,
She lies not down to weep:
Your girl is well contented
Be still, my lad, and sleep.

"It's the first of February, I know that, because that's the day the weaver was coming to collect the thread & he came this morning."
"St Bridget's night it is then."
"My mother used to say that this was the night of the year to turn your luck."
Good luck wishes to #BookWormSaturday folk! 🌱
