After The Quest

Pere Ginard

Turned Mary Oliver's poem, Wild Geese, into a picture book!

A personal project for the summer.

Illustration made by Frank Godwin in 1927 for a book titled, "King Arthur and his Knights: Based on Morte d’Arthur of Sir Thomas Malory" compiled and arranged by Elizabeth Lodor Merchant. Published by The John C. Winston Company. [x]

Allow me to offer you all merthur fanart… referenced from La belle dame sans merci, 1893 by John William Waterhouse… I love them so much

I need to do more merthur fanart soon 🫶

From How to Recognise the Trees of the Countryside, the Young Naturalist Series - 1954. This book belonged to my great-grandmother, who may have been a naturalist but wasn't young at the time! She was 60-70 when she bought it and wrote her name on the inside cover. Learning about nature is a lifelong pursuit, take her word for it.

I am in awe at the perfection of this, just captures the scene so well. Thank you so much @ollyrewind 😭❤️!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/49812313/chapters/125741818

The stars tell us of a great king. They rise, the pole star will ascend the heavens with the constellations of the king's namesake upon the higher cycles of the Earth, foretelling his rise and the golden age that he will bring. His age will go on and on and reach its peak in the far future when the pole star comes to occupy the truest central position in the heavens.

“Cerridwen, Cerridwen, Lady of The Cauldron come see what they have done.

Stolen your Cauldron’s power, and betrayed your only son,

Your eyes wide, lips curl, anger on your face

Change your shape now, lady; be the hound, begin the chase.”
