What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet. 'Inversnaid' (1881) by Gerard Manley Hopkins #WorldWetlandsDay #SwampSunday #BookChatWeekly #Poetsky hopkinspoetry.com/poem/in….

Frontispiece 'The Duck Marsh' by Frank W. Benson from A natural history of the ducks, Vol. 1 by John C. Philips, 1922.

A painting of a marshland at sunrise or sunset with open water and a few patches of grassy islands, and a small copse in the distance. Sitting on the water are seven pintail ducks, with many more ducks flying in the air above.

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." - Mark Twain [This is most sensible attitude to death I've ever come across] #BookWormSat #MarkTwain #AmericanLiterature #BookChatWeekly

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, but you can't help that," said the Cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." #LewisCarroll #BookChatWeekly #booksky #fantasy

Colour version of John Tenniel's illustration of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party in Alice In Wonderland.

I've posted it before but I'll post it again for #WyrdWednesday. Paul Hardy illustration for 'The Story Hunters' by E R Suffling, 1896. 'Skellington' is a much better word than 'skeleton' I've always thought. #ghosts #Gothic #skeletons #skellingtons #BookChatWeekly

A man looks on aghast as two skeletons ride the surf on their coffins. One waves cheerfully as they go by. The caption reads: 'By the sheen of the foam beheld two skellingtons sitting in their coffins.'

All you who sleep tonight Far from the ones you love No hand to left or right And emptiness above — Know that you aren’t alone The whole world shares your tears Some for two nights or one And some for all their years ~Vikram Seth #BornOnthisDay #BookChatWeekly

"As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill." 'Bleak House', Charles Dickens, 1852 #WyrdWednesday #BookChatWeekly

Art by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, 1850s. It shows two individuals of Megalosaurus in the original interpretation of them as quadrupedal animals with crocodile-like heads. One of them is standing up and the other asleep. In the background is a rocky outcrop with a flock of pterosaurs on.
