. ۫ ꣑ৎ . finnick odair’s unspeakable devotion.

pairing: finnick odair x siren!reader.

summary: finnick odair was known for his love to the sea, its depths never reached to tug at his fears, but will that remains the same when he finds out he doesn’t entirely know what lays beneath district 4’s waters?.

warning: none, unless ur afraid of sirens.

a/n: ngl i forgot to post this when i finish writing it. it does have a pt. 2!! also, should we give her a name? ily guys, req are open. ❦

the ocean had always been finnick’s refuge. even before he was a victor, before the capitol’s shimmering lights blinded him, he belonged to the sea. Its vastness, its unpredictability —it matched the tempest within him. out here, he could pretend he was just another man, just another fisherman chasing the horizon.

tonight, the ocean was unusually quiet. the waves were gentle whispers against his boat, rocking it softly as the sun sank beneath the water’s edge. he was determined not to return home empty-handed, even if that meant lingering until the last drop of daylight was swallowed by the sea. the fog was rolling in, curling around him like ghostly fingers, but he didn’t mind. finnick was used to the caprices of the ocean; he was its child, after all.

his hands were steady as he adjusted the nets, scanning the silver-tinted waters for movement. that’s when he heard it—a faint hum that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. It wasn’t the creaking of his boat or the distant call of gulls. It was a melody, low and haunting, curling around his bones and drawing him closer to the water’s edge.

the fog thickened, swirling in strange, hypnotic patterns. finnick felt his breath hitch, his heart beating just a bit faster. the hum was becoming clearer, taking on the shape of a voice. It was a woman’s voice—soft, lilting, enchanting. It wove through the air, seeping into his skin, making his eyelids grow heavy.

he shook his head, forcing himself to focus. but the water was moving strangely, ripples forming despite the stillness of the sea. something flowed beneath the surface, something sinuous and graceful. It moved with the rhythm of the melody, dancing just out of reach. finnick leaned over, eyes narrowing to pierce through the mist.

a flash of pale skin, almost argent-like, long hair drifting like seaweed. It was beautiful. hypnotic. he couldn’t look away.

the shape swam closer, fluid and graceful, until it surfaced right beside his boat. finnick stumbled back, his heart thundering in his chest. he’d heard the stories, the legends whispered in district 4 about creatures lurking beneath the waves. but nothing could’ve prepared him for the sight before him.

a woman—no, not a woman—clung to the edge of his boat. her fingers were long, nails sharp and clear, clutching the wood with inhuman strength. water dripped from her arms, glistening like pearls against her impossibly waxen skin. her hair was dark, black as the depths of the ocean, plastered to her face and neck. and her eyes… her eyes were fathomless voids, deep and black, reflecting no light.

she stared at him with a curious tilt of her head, lips parting to reveal teeth that were too sharp, too predatory. yet, she was breathtakingly beautiful. ethereal. Impossible. finnick couldn’t breathe.

her voice came again, that soft hum that had tangled itself around his senses. It resonated through the fog, vibrating through the air, settling in his chest. his muscles relaxed despite the chill that ran down his spine. her lips moved, shaping words he couldn’t quite understand, but the sound was enough. It was everything. It was… paradise.

“who… who are you?” his voice was hoarse, barely more than a whisper.

her lips curled into a smile, her black eyes never leaving his. she breathed her name, the name a melody that tasted of salt and seaweed.

“I’m finnick” he managed. “odair.”

his heart fluttered, his fear ebbing away, replaced by something far more dangerous—fascination. he knew he should be terrified. he knew he should push her away, sail back to shore, and never look back. but he was rooted to the spot, unable to break free from her gaze.

her fingers tightened on the boat’s edge, nails digging into the wood. she pulled herself up, just enough for her shoulders to break the water’s surface. finnick’s breath caught as he saw her body shimmering under the moonlight, her skin pearlescent, glistening like scales. her form was fluid, shifting, mesmerizing.

“why are you here?” he managed to ask, his voice trembling.

her smile widened, revealing more of those needle-sharp teeth. “your heart,” she whispered. “I heard it.”

the fog curled around them, a cocoon of mist and shadow. her hair floated, black tendrils dancing with the sea’s rhythm. he felt his muscles loosen, his grip on reality slipping away.

she reached out, one clawed finger tracing the line of his jaw with curiosity. her touch was cold, impossibly cold, like the deepest parts of the ocean. finnick shivered, his eyes locked on hers, unable to look away.

“will you come with me?” she murmured, her voice low and hypnotic, almost as fascinated with him as he was with her.

the water beneath her shifted, revealing the outline of a tail —long, sinuous, shimmering with an unnatural light. It was beautiful, terrifying, unreal.

a siren. she was a siren.

every instinct screamed at finnick to run, to get away from this creature that defied all logic and reason. but her voice was soft, her touch delicate, her beauty overwhelming. she hummed to him, and he could feel his will crumbling, dissolving like salt in water.

she pulled herself closer, her face inches from his, her breath cold against his skin. “will you, finnick?”

his name on her lips was his undoing. It was familiar and foreign, twisted by her voice into something that felt like home. he swayed, leaning towards her, the fog spinning around him, the world narrowing to just her face, her eyes, her voice.

her smile softened, her black eyes gleaming with triumph. her arms wrapped around him, pulling him closer, closer, until his face was mere inches from the water’s surface. he felt the chill seeping into his bones, the ocean calling to him, the fog wrapping him in its ghostly embrace.

her lips brushed against his, cold and wet, tasting of salt and darkness. the hum of the waves grew louder, vibrating through his body, pulling him under, into the depths where light could not follow.

his vision blurred, the world fading as he sank into the endless blackness of her eyes. the last thing he heard was her voice, sweet and haunting, echoing through the water.

and then, there was only silence.

finnick came back to the water every single day for two weeks.

he tried to convince himself it was for the fishing, that he was just stubborn, unwilling to admit defeat after a fruitless day at sea. but he knew better. he couldn’t lie to himself, not when his hands trembled every time he reached the spot where the fog had swallowed him, where her voice had wrapped around his soul like a fisherman’s net.

her name haunted him, curling around his mind like mist over the ocean. her face danced behind his eyes when he closed them, black eyes gleaming with curiosity, lips curling into a smile that was both beautiful and deadly. she was like the ocean itself—unpredictable, dangerous, impossible to hold.

he hadn’t told anyone. how could he? who would believe that finnick odair, district 4’s golden boy, victor of the hunger games, was enchanted by a creature from legend? a siren, whose voice still echoed in his mind, soft and haunting, making his chest ache with longing.

It made no sense. he knew the stories. sirens were monsters, predators that lured men to watery graves with songs sweeter than honey. they were killers, heartless and cunning. so why hadn’t she killed him? why had she let him go? why did she watch him with those wide, curious eyes, as though she didn’t knew what he was?

the question twisted inside him, an itch he couldn’t scratch, a whisper he couldn’t ignore. he couldn’t stop thinking about her, about the way her hair had floated around her like ink in water, the way her fingers gripped the boat’s edge with inhuman strength, the way her voice had sunk into his bones.

he had faced mutts, tributes, and capitol monsters with a smile on his face and a knife behind his back. but that didn’t compared to this —the ache in his chest, the way his heart pounded every time he thought of her. It wasn’t just desire, though he could still feel the ghost of her lips on his, cold and soft like a wave’s caress. It was something deeper, something desperate. he needed to see her again. he needed to hear her voice, even if it meant risking everything.

and so, every day, he returned to the spot where the fog thickened, where the water moved just a little too strangely, where the air tasted like salt and secrets. he sat on his boat, his hands tight on the oars, his eyes searching the water for a glimpse of flowing hair, pale skin, black eyes. he waited, heart pounding, the sea stretching endlessly around him.

but she didn’t come. not on the first day, or the second. not for two weeks. the ache grew, twisting inside him, sharper with every sunset that painted the water gold and every dawn that broke without a trace of her.

he was losing sleep, haunted by her voice, by the memory of her smile, by the question that wouldn’t let him rest —why had she spared him? why hadn’t she pulled him under and drowned him like any other foolish man who wandered too close to the edge?

on the fifteenth day, he almost gave up. the sun was setting, staining the sky pink and orange, the water shimmering under its dying light. the air was still, heavy with salt and silence. finnick sat on his boat, shoulders slumped, exhaustion tugging at him. he stared at the water, his fingers running over the place where her claws had scratched the wood, leaving shallow grooves as proof she was real, not some fever dream conjured by loneliness and madness.

a ripple broke the water’s surface. It was subtle, just a shiver in the sea, but his heart jumped. he sat up, eyes wide, pulse racing as the water moved again, a shadow gliding beneath the surface.

his breath caught as she emerged, her head breaking the water’s edge with barely a ripple. her black hair clung to her face, dripping with saltwater, her eyes as dark and unfathomable as he remembered.

she was different this time. softer, somehow, her face less guarded, her gaze curious as she watched him. her hands appeared next, pale and long-fingered, nails sharp and translucent, clinging to the boat’s edge with a strength that made the wood groan. but she did not pull herself up as before. she stayed half-submerged, her chin resting on her hands, her eyes never leaving his.

“you’re here,” he breathed, the words slipping out before he could stop himself. her lips curved at the sound, the barest hint of a smile, and his throat felt tight.

she tilted her head, hair floating around her shoulders like dark seaweed. “you came back,” she said, her voice soft, a melody that wrapped around him, drawing him closer.

“I… I had to,” he admitted, his cheeks flushing with shame. he felt foolish, like a boy with a crush, chasing shadows and fairy tales. but he couldn’t lie to her. not when her eyes were on him, sharp and piercing, seeing straight through him.

“why?” she asked, her voice laced with genuine curiosity. “why would you come back, knowing what I am?”

he opened his mouth, then closed it, struggling for words. how could he explain the ache in his chest, the way his body yearned to be near her, the way her voice echoed in his bones, haunting and beautiful?

“I don’t know,” he said finally, his voice low and raw. “I just… I needed to see you again.”

her eyes widened, surprise flashing across her face. she looked almost… human, in that moment, vulnerable and confused. his heart squeezed painfully.

she stared at him, unblinking, her fingers curling tighter around the wood. “I don’t understand you,” she murmured. “I don’t understand what you are.”

he laughed, the sound rough and bitter. “neither do I.”

she was silent, her head tilting as she studied him, as though he were the strange creature clinging to the boat’s edge. her eyes softened, just a little, and her lips moved, shaping words he barely heard. “you’re different. you feel different.”

he didn’t know what to say to that. he didn’t know what to say to any of this. how could he? how could he find words for the madness in his heart, for the way he longed for her, desperately, achingly, even though he knew she could kill him with a single note of her voice?

her gaze dropped, her fingers loosening their grip. for a moment, he thought she might leave, slipping back into the water, vanishing into the depths where he could never follow. panic surged through him.

“wait—” he choked out, his hand reaching for her without thinking. her eyes snapped back to his, her body tensing, ready to flee.

but she didn’t. she stayed, watching him with wide, unblinking eyes. finnick’s heart was pounding, his breath coming in shallow gasps, his fingers trembling as they hovered over hers, just a hair’s breadth away.

“I… I just want to understand,” he whispered. “I want to know you.”

her face softened, her eyes dark and deep, ancient and lonely. “no one has ever wanted that before,” she whispered. her voice wavered, the melody breaking, raw and vulnerable.

finnick leaned closer, his heart beating in time with her melody. and for the second time, she smiled —soft, beautiful, and heartbreakingly human.

quiet, the winter harbor

ship: mentioned kurapika x reader

warnings: none. just angst and pain and more pain.

summary: in york new, the snow is harsh and unpredictable. kurapika thinks of what once was and what can be.

•｡ꪆৎ ˚⋅

Winter is a dream and I love you, Kurapika.

His mother used to say that.

Always in the same breath, a run-on sentence that drifted on chill winds, rendering them almost poetic. Fragmented whispers intertwined, swirling like the storm outside, seeping into your clothes, your nose, your chest, and residing there forever. This ritualistic chant kept the cold at bay; that's what his mother taught him, repeating the phrase until the boy could murmur it in his sleep.

In his dreams, the syllables rose and fell like points of a star folded into a circle, endlessly repeating. Perpetually.

WinterisadreamandIlove

Learning it this way, reciting it so, turned the season gentle no matter how bitter the air bit.

Now that he is older, Kurapika has discovered that the blizzard-rhyme mantra doesn’t always work. But it helps.

He repeats the words to himself now, watching the weather unfold, years and a lifetime away from the home where he first heard the incantation. Night deepens, from sunset into a realm beyond indigo. It's dark, almost black, and when he lifts his hands to the sky, Kurapika’s fingernails merge with the bleakness. His knuckles become pale night-clouds, obscuring the few stars that dare to appear.

A poem of exhalation whispers from his mouth, unfurling from his throat, fogging the air. The freeze of winter invades within. The warmth of his breath escapes without.

It’s beginning to snow.

The first flakes arrive quietly, like early visitors hoping to go unnoticed as they settle. A few land on Kurapika’s upturned palms, and by the time he lowers his hands, they have already melted away. In York New, the snow is harsh and unpredictable, its gentleness stripped away. Without a layer to insulate yourself from it—fabric or nen, glass or glove—you destroy what you seek to touch, ruin it with your very existence. Snowflakes require time to study. They are like people.

No two alike.

At times, the quest for closeness seems as elusive as a mirage in the desert. Kurapika reminisces about the moments spent with Y/n, where the intimacy was as delicate and ephemeral as the snowflakes he yearns to capture. The closeness he sought felt akin to grasping at snow before it vanished—intense, yet fleeting. Similarly, Y/n’s presence was a paradox of familiarity and enigma, their bond a beautiful tapestry that remained vulnerable to the caprices of fate. Much like snow, their connection was governed by forces beyond their control, and though they reached for each other with heartfelt desire, instances of genuine closeness were as rare and precious as capturing a snowflake on the tip of a finger.

Kurapika was enchanted by that mystery early on, while his mother brewed hot teas to keep him safe from the flu, and his father laughed, bringing extra blankets. The windows of their ramshackle home were heavy with frost that year. His parents insulated the cracks and panes with Kurtan tapestries, leaving only a tiny slice of view for Kurapika to part the curtains and peer out at the storm.

Winter is a dream, his mother sighed, song-like, touching her slender hand to the windowpane, dwarfing his own stubby child-fingers. And I love you, Kurapika.

His father joined them, tucking the blanket around his wife’s shoulders, dropping a fold on his child’s head. The coarse weave rubbed against Kurapika’s cheek as he leaned into it. The knobbiness of his father’s knee pressed against his back, assembling his limbs on the bed where they all sat. With his arms wrapped around his family, the man bent his head to kiss Kurapika’s hair, watching the evening unravel into midnight.

His mother understood the delicate way snow fell. Kurapika could see it in her eyes. The reverence for nature’s fragility, the awareness of how easily it could be destroyed; she knew that what once existed could never be revived, only remade at best. Refrozen.

Flakes descended by the thousands, never individually noticed, buried beneath the shrouds of their companions, but Kurapika’s mother seemed intent on memorizing every single one as they fell.

Even when the boy was fighting sleep, lids heavy and head resting against his father’s chest, Kurapika’s mother was still touching the windowpane.

Understanding.

You couldn’t piece people together the way you made ice, pouring water into molds and sliding the tray into the freezer, timing the process with a watch. When snowflakes melted, you could never freeze them back into the same shape.

But you could try.

Does Phenex of the Ars Goetia exist in your AU? If so is he still a Goetia and does he express interest in returning to heaven?

all Goetia demons exist in asileverse, it's more a question of what they are in my interpretation haha

anyway, Phenex

• poet warrior as he proudly admits, though more of a poet than a warrior

• god of minstrels, poets and singers, welcome guest at any court due to enchanting voice

• because of talent he's capricious and rather arrogant

• other high demons say that Phenex has a bad temper, but not so bad that it's impossible to tolerate him (okay, you can eat all the grapes, just don't get angry and sing for us)

• his caprices and arrogance miraculously evaporate when he communicates with ordinary musicians, deeply kind nature wins

• in close-to-human form Phenex has big nose and fiery red, disheveled, thick hair; in true form he's close to the firstborn state (consists of fire and wind, looks like a giant bird)

• immortal

• a prototype for myths about phoenix

• fallen angel who supported Helel's rebellion; Phenex, despite visible cynicism, regrets it to some extent and hopes to redeem himself someday

• this was the reason why he helped Yeshua [Jesus] in wanderings, and later the image of Christ in folk mythology was associated with the image of the burning and rebirth of the bird

Christmas surprise

Hiya! Hope you enjoy this short one-shot, thought there was too little Blackinnon content on here lately. You can find it also on Ao3 and Fanfiction.net, my username is in my bio! (English is not my first language, I’m sorry for the possible mistakes)

"Kids off to bed!" Despite having slept for three hours, Marlene had to admire her boyfriend's energy. He had worked the whole night — one drawback of being an Auror. He did not have a say on his shifts... especially if he didn't want any cut to his wage, which was the last thing they needed at the moment. He had arrived home in the early morning and succeeded in getting some rest before the kids woke their parents up, anxious to open their Christmas presents.

Marlene smiled at him and asked him to help her pick up the gifts' wrappings that the children had dropped on the floor earlier that day. "Do you think the children were happy?" They did have money, it was not that, but they struggled sometimes. Surely their children's gifts paled compared to the pile Harry received each year, spoiled by rich parents and grandparents. Thankfully, the little Blacks had a fair share of biological and non-biological uncles and aunties that came to help.

"Of course they were, love. Did you not hear your daughter going on and on about the cat to your mum?" Marlene grinned. "The kitty was a nice touch." Her heart warmed up as she remembered the enchanted expression of their daughter when she had seen her dad walking in with a box containing a small and adorable kitty, despite not understanding why Saint Claus didn't place it under the tree with the rest of their presents. Anyway, she and her bother had spent their entire morning playing with it and cuddling it and there had been quite a few tears when they had to leave it at home to go to lunch at their grandparents'.

"Hey, let's go to bed..." Marlene proposed, noticing her man's tired eyes. She kissed him tenderly on the cheek and began standing up. "Wait, Marls... There still is a gift for you."

She hadn't noticed the small red box under the Christmas tree. She supposed Sirius had hidden it to give it to her when they were all alone.

"Is it going to explode in my face?"

Sirius laughed. "Maybe... and don't say I didn't have to" he added, noticing her expression. "Only... just open it."

It was a ring. And not just any ring... Marlene knew perfectly what it was, but it was the last thing she expected at that moment. Sure, they had been together for years, but they had had two kids without really looking for them — they loved them to death and Marlene wouldn't change a thing, but they were young and finding all the money had been difficult; a wedding was an enormous cost, a caprice... They had agreed that they did not need to get married to be conscious of what they felt for one another or to promise to always be there.

"Will you marry me?" Marlene felt ten years younger when she noticed how the man was looking at her... and was overwhelmed with butterflies in her stomach.

"Oh..."

Sirius chuckled softly, brushing a loose strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. "Is it a no?"

"Sirius... why?"

"I want you to be my wife," he stated simply, making her feel emotional. "I know it'll be a great expense, we can still do something simple, but... I want to marry you"

It was the simplicity of Sirius' love that took her breath away. The attention and care towards her that he never failed to show, thesmall gestures that made her feel so loved: working all night to be able to buy one more toy for their children, or his smile when his shift was over and he was back home, to her... stroking her hair while falling asleep, the flowers and breakfast in bed for her twenty-seventh birthday. The two of them were so complicated, but what they felt for each other did not need much explanation.

"Marls, if you don't agree it's fine... I just thought—" he said, a little disappointed to find her looking straight at the carpet, not quite meeting his gaze.

"Of course I want to marry you, you idiot!" She looked up at him, wiping the tears off his face. "It's just... you made me happy."

He took her face in his hands, stroking her cheekbones. "I can't even explain it, Marls... I'm more and more in love with you each passing day. You are my reason to do everything — you and the kids. Fifteen years ago, I would have never imagined having this life, but I'd be miserable otherwise."

She drew him closer, taking him from his pajama, and kissed him with passion. "Put this ring on me, then."

Sirius grinned.

"You could have asked five years ago... I was hot and hadn't endured two childbirths yet..." The comment was put to an end by his boyfriend, who searched her lips almost desperately. He kissed her hard... Marlene felt dizzy.

"Let's go to bed"

Sirius smirked on her lips. "Fantastic idea"

Frankenstein

or

The Modern Prometheus

By Mary Shelley

CHAPTER II.

We were brought up together; there was not quite a year difference in our ages. I need not say that we were strangers to any species of disunion or dispute. Harmony was the soul of our companionship, and the diversity and contrast that subsisted in our characters drew us nearer together. Elizabeth was of a calmer and more concentrated disposition; but, with all my ardour, I was capable of a more intense application, and was more deeply smitten with the thirst for knowledge. She busied herself with following the aerial creations of the poets; and in the majestic and wondrous scenes which surrounded our Swiss home—the sublime shapes of the mountains; the changes of the seasons; tempest and calm; the silence of winter, and the life and turbulence of our Alpine summers,—she found ample scope for admiration and delight. While my companion contemplated with a serious and satisfied spirit the magnificent appearances of things, I delighted in investigating their causes. The world was to me a secret which I desired to divine. Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as they were unfolded to me, are among the earliest sensations I can remember.

On the birth of a second son, my junior by seven years, my parents gave up entirely their wandering life, and fixed themselves in their native country. We possessed a house in Geneva, and a campagne on Belrive, the eastern shore of the lake, at the distance of rather more than a league from the city. We resided principally in the latter, and the lives of my parents were passed in considerable seclusion. It was my temper to avoid a crowd, and to attach myself fervently to a few. I was indifferent, therefore, to my schoolfellows in general; but I united myself in the bonds of the closest friendship to one among them. Henry Clerval was the son of a merchant of Geneva. He was a boy of singular talent and fancy. He loved enterprise, hardship, and even danger, for its own sake. He was deeply read in books of chivalry and romance. He composed heroic songs, and began to write many a tale of enchantment and knightly adventure. He tried to make us act plays, and to enter into masquerades, in which the characters were drawn from the heroes of Roncesvalles, of the Round Table of King Arthur, and the chivalrous train who shed their blood to redeem the holy sepulchre from the hands of the infidels.

No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. My parents were possessed by the very spirit of kindness and indulgence. We felt that they were not the tyrants to rule our lot according to their caprice, but the agents and creators of all the many delights which we enjoyed. When I mingled with other families, I distinctly discerned how peculiarly fortunate my lot was, and gratitude assisted the developement of filial love.

My temper was sometimes violent, and my passions vehement; but by some law in my temperature they were turned, not towards childish pursuits, but to an eager desire to learn, and not to learn all things indiscriminately. I confess that neither the structure of languages, nor the code of governments, nor the politics of various states, possessed attractions for me. It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn; and whether it was the outward substance of things, or the inner spirit of nature and the mysterious soul of man that occupied me, still my enquiries were directed to the metaphysical, or, in its highest sense, the physical secrets of the world.

Meanwhile Clerval occupied himself, so to speak, with the moral relations of things. The busy stage of life, the virtues of heroes, and the actions of men, were his theme; and his hope and his dream was to become one among those whose names are recorded in story, as the gallant and adventurous benefactors of our species. The saintly soul of Elizabeth shone like a shrine-dedicated lamp in our peaceful home. Her sympathy was ours; her smile, her soft voice, the sweet glance of her celestial eyes, were ever there to bless and animate us. She was the living spirit of love to soften and attract: I might have become sullen in my study, rough through the ardour of my nature, but that she was there to subdue me to a semblance of her own gentleness. And Clerval—could aught ill entrench on the noble spirit of Clerval?—yet he might not have been so perfectly humane, so thoughtful in his generosity—so full of kindness and tenderness amidst his passion for adventurous exploit, had she not unfolded to him the real loveliness of beneficence, and made the doing good the end and aim of his soaring ambition.

I feel exquisite pleasure in dwelling on the recollections of childhood, before misfortune had tainted my mind, and changed its bright visions of extensive usefulness into gloomy and narrow reflections upon self. Besides, in drawing the picture of my early days, I also record those events which led, by insensible steps, to my after tale of misery: for when I would account to myself for the birth of that passion, which afterwards ruled my destiny, I find it arise, like a mountain river, from ignoble and almost forgotten sources; but, swelling as it proceeded, it became the torrent which, in its course, has swept away all my hopes and joys.

Natural philosophy is the genius that has regulated my fate; I desire, therefore, in this narration, to state those facts which led to my predilection for that science. When I was thirteen years of age, we all went on a party of pleasure to the baths near Thonon: the inclemency of the weather obliged us to remain a day confined to the inn. In this house I chanced to find a volume of the works of Cornelius Agrippa. I opened it with apathy; the theory which he attempts to demonstrate, and the wonderful facts which he relates, soon changed this feeling into enthusiasm. A new light seemed to dawn upon my mind; and, bounding with joy, I communicated my discovery to my father. My father looked carelessly at the titlepage of my book, and said, "Ah! Cornelius Agrippa! My dear Victor, do not waste your time upon this; it is sad trash."

If, instead of this remark, my father had taken the pains to explain to me, that the principles of Agrippa had been entirely exploded, and that a modern system of science had been introduced, which possessed much greater powers than the ancient, because the powers of the latter were chimerical, while those of the former were real and practical; under such circumstances, I should certainly have thrown Agrippa aside, and have contented my imagination, warmed as it was, by returning with greater ardour to my former studies. It is even possible, that the train of my ideas would never have received the fatal impulse that led to my ruin. But the cursory glance my father had taken of my volume by no means assured me that he was acquainted with its contents; and I continued to read with the greatest avidity.

When I returned home, my first care was to procure the whole works of this author, and afterwards of Paracelsus and Albertus Magnus. I read and studied the wild fancies of these writers with delight; they appeared to me treasures known to few beside myself. I have described myself as always having been embued with a fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature. In spite of the intense labour and wonderful discoveries of modern philosophers, I always came from my studies discontented and unsatisfied. Sir Isaac Newton is said to have avowed that he felt like a child picking up shells beside the great and unexplored ocean of truth. Those of his successors in each branch of natural philosophy with whom I was acquainted, appeared even to my boy's apprehensions, as tyros engaged in the same pursuit.

The untaught peasant beheld the elements around him, and was acquainted with their practical uses. The most learned philosopher knew little more. He had partially unveiled the face of Nature, but her immortal lineaments were still a wonder and a mystery. He might dissect, anatomise, and give names; but, not to speak of a final cause, causes in their secondary and tertiary grades were utterly unknown to him. I had gazed upon the fortifications and impediments that seemed to keep human beings from entering the citadel of nature, and rashly and ignorantly I had repined.

But here were books, and here were men who had penetrated deeper and knew more. I took their word for all that they averred, and I became their disciple. It may appear strange that such should arise in the eighteenth century; but while I followed the routine of education in the schools of Geneva, I was, to a great degree, self taught with regard to my favourite studies. My father was not scientific, and I was left to struggle with a child's blindness, added to a student's thirst for knowledge. Under the guidance of my new preceptors, I entered with the greatest diligence into the search of the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life; but the latter soon obtained my undivided attention. Wealth was an inferior object; but what glory would attend the discovery, if I could banish disease from the human frame, and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death!

Nor were these my only visions. The raising of ghosts or devils was a promise liberally accorded by my favourite authors, the fulfilment of which I most eagerly sought; and if my incantations were always unsuccessful, I attributed the failure rather to my own inexperience and mistake, than to a want of skill or fidelity in my instructors. And thus for a time I was occupied by exploded systems, mingling, like an unadept, a thousand contradictory theories, and floundering desperately in a very slough of multifarious knowledge, guided by an ardent imagination and childish reasoning, till an accident again changed the current of my ideas.

When I was about fifteen years old we had retired to our house near Belrive, when we witnessed a most violent and terrible thunder-storm. It advanced from behind the mountains of Jura; and the thunder burst at once with frightful loudness from various quarters of the heavens. I remained, while the storm lasted, watching its progress with curiosity and delight. As I stood at the door, on a sudden I beheld a stream of fire issue from an old and beautiful oak, which stood about twenty yards from our house; and so soon as the dazzling light vanished, the oak had disappeared, and nothing remained but a blasted stump. When we visited it the next morning, we found the tree shattered in a singular manner. It was not splintered by the shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribands of wood. I never beheld any thing so utterly destroyed.

Before this I was not unacquainted with the more obvious laws of electricity. On this occasion a man of great research in natural philosophy was with us, and, excited by this catastrophe, he entered on the explanation of a theory which he had formed on the subject of electricity and galvanism, which was at once new and astonishing to me. All that he said threw greatly into the shade Cornelius Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, and Paracelsus, the lords of my imagination; but by some fatality the overthrow of these men disinclined me to pursue my accustomed studies. It seemed to me as if nothing would or could ever be known. All that had so long engaged my attention suddenly grew despicable. By one of those caprices of the mind, which we are perhaps most subject to in early youth, I at once gave up my former occupations; set down natural history and all its progeny as a deformed and abortive creation; and entertained the greatest disdain for a would-be science, which could never even step within the threshold of real knowledge. In this mood of mind I betook myself to the mathematics, and the branches of study appertaining to that science, as being built upon secure foundations, and so worthy of my consideration.

Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by such slight ligaments are we bound to prosperity or ruin. When I look back, it seems to me as if this almost miraculous change of inclination and will was the immediate suggestion of the guardian angel of my life—the last effort made by the spirit of preservation to avert the storm that was even then hanging in the stars, and ready to envelope me. Her victory was announced by an unusual tranquillity and gladness of soul, which followed the relinquishing of my ancient and latterly tormenting studies. It was thus that I was to be taught to associate evil with their prosecution, happiness with their disregard.

It was a strong effort of the spirit of good; but it was ineffectual. Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction.

Upon fair Discord where the nerds do play,

A handsome psychic muse-rat never sleeps,

For if the hours of night he did obey, 

Too terrible his powers’ vigor creeps.

His wordplay and his quipping never pales,

Delighting with his quick impressive puns;

He spends the wee hours telling far-fetched tales

And dazzling his friends in several tongues.

Perhaps the handsome rat could find some peace

In dulcet tones inspiring him to rest;

If when enchanted by the night’s caprice,

The dashing poet’s songs to him professed.

The muse-rat is bestowed a forehead kiss,

which sends him into gentle slumber’s bliss.

Parisian Dream

I That marvelous landscape of my dream — Which no eye knows, nor ever will — At moments, wide awake, I seem To grasp, and it excites me still. Sleep, how miraculous you are — A strange caprice had urged my hand To banish, as irregular, All vegetation from that land; And, proud of what my art had done, I viewed my painting, knew the great Intoxicating monotone Of marble, water, steel and slate. Staircases and arcades there were In a long labyrinth, which led To a vast palace; fountains there Were gushing gold, and gushing lead. And many a heavy cataract Hung like a curtain, — did not fall, As water does, but hung, compact, Crystal, on many a metal wall. Tall nymphs with Titan breasts and knees Gazed at their images unblurred, Where groves of colonnades, not trees, Fringed a deep pool where nothing stirred. Blue sheets of water, left and right, Spread between quays of rose and green, To the world's end and out of sight, And still expanded, though unseen. Enchanted rivers, those — with jade And jasper were their banks bedecked; Enormous mirrors, dazzled, made Dizzy by all they did reflect. And many a Ganges, taciturn And heedless, in the vaulted air, Poured out the treasure of its urn Into a gulf of diamond there. As architect, it tempted me To tame the ocean at its source; And this I did, — I made the sea Under a jeweled culvert course. And every color, even black, Became prismatic, polished, bright; The liquid gave its glory back Mounted in iridescent light. There was no moon, there was no sun, — For why should sun and moon conspire To light such prodigies? — each one Blazed with its own essential fire! A silence like eternity Prevailed, there was no sound to hear; These marvels all were for the eye, And there was nothing for the ear. II I woke; my mind was bright with flame; I saw the cheap and sordid hole I live in, and my cares all came Burrowing back into my soul. Brutally the twelve strokes of noon Against my naked ear were hurled; And a gray sky was drizzling down Upon this sad, lethargic world.

Charles Baudelaire, tr. Edna St. Vincent Millay, Flowers of Evil (1936)

The Indoor Vs. Outdoor Wedding Reception Debate: Pros and Cons

Dreamy wedding receptions or dreamy soirées are filled with joyous laughter, dance, and delectable delights, where love and food weave enchanting tales.

Planning a wedding reception is like orchestrating a symphony of love, and one of the key decisions that can make or break the harmony is choosing between an indoor or outdoor wedding reception.

In this exploration of the eternal debate, we’ll dive into the pros and cons, shedding light on the intricacies that define the perfect celebration and how Asian wedding services in London make an impact on your special day.

So, come with us on this beautiful yet decisive journey, hand in hand with the whispers of the wind or the shelter of a magnificent hall.

Love’s Dilemma: Epic Debate Between Indoor Elegance and Outdoor Romance in Wedding Reception Sagas

In the lively saga of weddings, opinions swirl around like confetti. For indoor receptions, believers cherish the controlled charm, shielded from unpredictable elements. Walls become a canvas for elegant decor, creating a cocoon of intimacy.

Outdoors, enthusiasts revel in nature’s theatre, enchanted by picturesque backdrops. They view open skies as the ultimate venue, where love intertwines with the elements. Regardless of preference, each holds a fervent belief – be it the sheltered elegance of indoors or the untamed beauty of the great outdoors, both are stages for unforgettable love stories.

Enough anticipation, let’s not keep you waiting any longer. Let’s dive in and discover which option takes the crown.

The Great Indoors: Unveiling the Elegance

Step into the embrace of great indoor receptions, where elegance unveils its enchanting dance. Walls become whispers of refined tales, a canvas awaiting your love story. Shielded from nature’s caprice, it’s a sanctuary of controlled charm, an intimate cocoon where weddings blossom into timeless tales of grace and sophistication.

Here are some pros and cons of indoor wedding receptions for you-

Pros:

Weather Immunity: The unpredictability of weather can cast a shadow on outdoor weddings. Indoors, you are shielded from the whims of Mother Nature, ensuring a flawless celebration, irrespective of the season.

Décor Delight: Indoor venues provide a blank canvas for your creativity to run wild. Transform the space into a fairytale wonderland or a chic urban oasis, all under a controlled environment.

Audiovisual Extravaganza: With the confines of walls, sound and visuals reach their zenith. Your choice of entertainment, speeches, and even the emotional exchange of vows can be amplified to create an immersive experience.

Cons:

Space Constraints: The grandeur of indoor venues sometimes comes at the cost of limited space. Guest lists might need to be trimmed down, restricting the number of loved ones who can witness your special day.

Higher Cost: The exclusivity and amenities of an indoor venue often translate to a higher price tag. Every extra square foot adds to the bill, and that luxurious ballroom might dent your budget.

Under the Open Sky: Embracing the Outdoors

Where vows meet the breeze and laughter dances with the leaves, outdoor weddings unfold tales under the open sky. Nature becomes the canvas, and love, the masterpiece. Embracing the outdoors is not just a choice, it’s a poetic celebration where every moment is kissed by the sun and whispered to by the wind.

Let’s find out some of the pros and cons of outdoor wedding receptions-

Pros:

Natural Splendour: The allure of an outdoor wedding reception lies in the breathtaking backdrop of nature. Be it a garden, beach, or vineyard, the beauty of the surroundings becomes an integral part of your celebration.

Ample Space for Creativity: With the sky as your ceiling, there’s no limit to what you can create. From whimsical arches to fairy lights dancing in the breeze, outdoor weddings offer a canvas that is as vast as the horizon.

Photography Paradise: Outdoor weddings are a photographer’s dream. Natural light, picturesque landscapes, and the genuine smiles of guests create a visual narrative that is hard to replicate indoors.

Cons:

Weather Woes: The very factor that adds charm to outdoor weddings can also be their Achilles’ heel. A sudden rain shower or gusty winds can turn your dream day into a logistical nightmare.

Technical Tussles: Outdoor venues might lack the infrastructure of indoor spaces. This could lead to challenges in setting up sound systems, proper lighting, or even arranging comfortable seating for guests.

Choosing the Right Venue for You: The London Connection

In the heart of the bustling city, where cultural richness meets modern elegance, London stands as a beacon for couples seeking the perfect setting for their wedding.

Crafting Your Everlasting Memory

As the indoor vs. outdoor wedding reception debate unfolds, it’s essential to reflect on your vision for the day. Do you envision an intimate affair cocooned in the opulence of four walls, or does the idea of saying “I do” beneath the open sky ignite a spark within? Ultimately, the decision rests on what resonates with you as a couple.
