Herman Melville on Napoleon’s love for Ossian

Context: Ossian is the narrator and purported author of a cycle of epic poems published by the Scottish poet James Macpherson, originally as Fingal (1761) and Temora (1763), and later combined under the title The Poems of Ossian.

“I am rejoiced to see Hazlitt speak for Ossian. There is nothing more contemptable in that contemptable man (tho' good poet, in his department) Wordsworth, than his contempt for Ossian. And nothing that more raises my idea of Napoleon than his great admiration for him.—The loneliness of the spirit of Ossian harmonized with the loneliness of the greatness of Napoleon.”

Melville wrote this around 1862 in the margins of his copy of Hazlitt’s Lectures on the English Comic Writers and Lectures on the English Poets

Beautiful Tuscan Italianate 1957 Temora Manor in Ellicott City, Maryland has so much of its original charm. ($1.2M)

Lovely large central entrance hall.

This sitting room, set up as an office, has floor to ceiling bookshelving and double doors to the porch.

I like their bright green dining room. They’ve done a sponge paint effect to bring out the fireplace chimney wall.

Lovely sitting room that also has a beautiful marble fireplace and doors to the porch. 

These manors have so many sitting rooms. Notice the pocket doors and ornate fireplace in here, too.

I don’t hate the new kitchen- the gray cabinets give it an older look, but at least they kept the fireplace.

This large home has 6 bdms and 5.5 baths.

The bdms all have fireplaces and beautiful large windows. This one has a door to go out to the balcony.

All the bdms are big and all the baths modernized.

Look at this room- this is the tower on top of the house.

The basement is all usable space.

It even has a bar with lots of entertaining space.

There’re lots of rooms down here.

And, it’s on a nice 1.62 acre lot with lots of greenery.

[Wings of Fire] Pan Headcanons

ok hi, so I always miss the lgbtq visibility days so I'm making this one early. Pansexual & panromantic visibility day is in like 2-3 days (idk one place said it was the 24th, another said the 25th so like, whatever this is early regardless) so here are the Wings of Fire characters I headcanon as pansexual and/or panromantic.

(these are subject to change, my trans headcanons are literally already outdated because I always have to mix things up to be silly)

Sunny (pansexual & panromantic but also aroflux)

Blue

Cricket (panromantic & cupiosexual)

Luna (panromantic & asexual)

Blister

Kinkajou (panromantic & pansexual but also graysexual)

Willow

Grandeur

Kestrel

Glider

Shark

Burnet

Coconut

Marsh

Splendor

Soar

Oasis (pansexual & aromantic)

Piranha (pansexual & aromantic)

Ostrich (both, Six-Claws's mom & daughter)

Crystal

Indigo

Scallop

Gibbon (panromantic & asexual)

Mangrove

Tapir

Smokeseer (panromantic & asexual)

Char

Kindle

Thrush

Temora

Tussock

Treehopper

Byblis

Maple

I don't know what the next day coming up is but lowkey I could probably just do all the days I missed and also just generally just all of the headcanons rather than ones that have a specific day, I just find that following whatever was going on would make it easier to get them out in sections.

October 27th 1736 saw the birth of James MacPherson in the parish of Kingussie, Badenoch, Inverness-shire.

Seumas MacMhuirich/ Seumas Mac a’ Phearsain, in Gaelic or James Macpherson is mostly well-known for his translation of the epic Ossian poems of his native land but was also an accomplished poet in his own right and a leading political figure of the time. Born into a reasonably wealthy family, Macpherson traveled to Aberdeen in his teens where he studied at King’s College with a short sabbatical in Edinburgh.

Whilst at university he began writing verses and published his first work The Highlander in 1758, though for some reason he tried to withdraw it afterwards. He was attracted back to his home town of Ruthven in Inverness-shire and returned there to become a teacher after finishing his studies.

With MacPherson though it was, and is all about  The Works of Ossian, Fingal and Temora.

When it was first published Macpherson said that it was a translation of an ancient manuscript in Scottish Gaelic which had come into his possession, and which was a copy of an original work written by Ossian. This was contested by various people, including notably Samuel Johnson, who said that it was entirely the work of Macpherson himself. The Irish scholar Charles O'Conor published an extensive refutation of the historical accuracy of the work as an Appendix to his History of Ireland. Both sides became passionate, but bitter and abusive in expressing their own view, and the controversy rumbled on over the next fifty years. I like to imagine it being like a twitter war nowadays. 

Anyway the alleged manuscript never appeared, but later researches have shown that the work is based partly on genuine Highland traditions.

Those familiar with the later, more authentic, versions in English of ancient Gaelic literature will recognise many of the names and stories - Fingal is Fionn Mac Cumhaill; Temora is Tara (Temro in Old Irish); Cuthulinn is Cú Chulainn (though a much feebler figure than the Irish hero), Dar-Thula is Deirdre of the Sorrows; Ros-cranna is Gráinne and Dermid is Diarmuid Ó Duibhne, though the Pursuit of Diarmuid and Gráinne is not one of Macpherson's stories. And so on. However, much of the work is Macpherson's own invention -- the tragic love story of Fingal and Agandecca, for example; and though "Temora" has some similarity to the Battles of Ventry and of Gabhra, the details are different. The footnotes (by Macpherson) are said to be almost entirely misleading or downright wrong.

I won’t pretend to know the full Ossian story, it’s a wee bit to “highbrow” reading for my liking, I much prefer contemporary reading subjects- BUT,  you can find the works posted online for free here https://ossianonline.nuigalway.ie/

[daily-wof-designs]

Design Process - Arc 3

Condesing books 11-15 here!

Blue - Standard blue design, i always have seen him with yellow eyes because of the pre-final cover of book 11.

Burnet - Silkwings based off of moths are fuzzy for future reference. Also she’s purple.

Silverspot - Based her off of the silverspot butterfly

Admiral - Peacock vibes. also all the flamesilks have flamesilk cuffs and nose rings.

Wasp - the green blood is from the fact the othermind has infected her for like, a century.

Io - i SWEAR there was a constellation based off of the myth of io and the bull but i couldnt find it??? anyways she has bull horns and teal star freckles

Aphid - i think i overuse green hivewing designs but also a lot of bugs are green.

Chafer - he runs the sugar dream, so pink cloud silks

Pierid - sleepy time

Bombadier - hate him 

Danaid - i WISH they brough her back in tfoh shes older than the tree wars she couldve been so interesting. heart wings.

Hawker - tried to emulate feathers with his wings

Clubtail - used the card club pattern

Weevil - creacher

Earthworm - shes a science professor

Lubber - they have black scales they’re little tears near the eyes

Grasshopper - construction band

Whitespeck - theres two whitespecks, this one is based off of the moth

Heliconian - lovecore

Fritillary - ‘lime green stripes’ i just made him gaudy

Sandfly - generic guard

The Librarian - wanted to give her a unicorn horn

Cicada - pinkish hivewings underrated even if she sucks

Xenica - silkwings with antlers...

Tussock - really channeled ash ketchum energy

Festoon - hes like. dead.

Maple - ancient leafwings were much more colorful than modern leafwings, though modern ones still have colors beside green

Sunstreak - he is the only pure beetlewing we get so. made the most of him. beetlewings have hive horns + silk antanne + one see-through set of wings and one set of elytra

Commodore - baby child...

Jewel - clearsight had a classmate named jewel eyes. there was no indication they were ever friends but i am headcanoning a friendship there and now she named her child after jewel eyes huzzah

Orange - they sure are orang!!!!!!

Tortoiseshell - like a tortoiseshell cat

Cricket - inkblots

Bumblebee - chubby babie..... also the wiki lists cricket as her mom i think thats interesting

Katydid - cricket without inkblots

Midge - small

Scarab - she did a better job at raising cricket than cadelle did.

Cadelle - excess silks and jewelry because she moved to jewel hive and feels need to overcompensate.

Cinnabar - is cinnaio a ship. i think it should be

Morpho - frilly wings. also my proto-blue design because its said they look similar

Treehopper - idk man hes like an accountant

Tau - I took “color of mashed bananas” and RAN with it

Jewel - jade accessories and teal accents. honey-drop pattern black scales. emo eye scales. just pretty hivewing

Pinacate - She owns a store called raindrops, so blue and raindrop accessories.

Temora - Temora butterflies are really cool

Argus - OKAY this one has a bit of a ridiculous explination. one of my favorite video games ever is called witchs heart and one of the main characters is this guy named noel. okay spoilers for the second game in the rest of this explnation but when he was like 11 he got died by an eye demon and was inflicted with the “curse of argus”. at nighttime he becomes a huge flesh eye teeth monster but can seem human at daytime. his wings are based off his flesh monster form and the rest of his body is based off of his human form. so yeah i slipped a reference of my favorite game into my design blog whoops

Sundew - some red accents + red eye to reference a real sundew plant. also some leafwings have a red spiral tatto on their arm that deigns them as poisonwings. small ones like what sundew has are for dragonets, an extra loop means theyre an adult and a third means theyre first and second in commant

Willow - droopy. some other leafwings have a dark green stick-like tatto that deigns them as sapwings. all these tattoos r the same no matter rank.

Belladonna - purble!!!!

Cobra Lily - i had to give her like the wavy hair frills. pink

Hemlock - the idea of a shell necklace on a leafwing seems so fun. where did you find that shell little man

Nettle - purple but in a grey way

Mandrake - i have a semi crack au where blue and cricket divorce because blue falls in love with mandrake. not important to his design i just want yall to know this

Bryony - the star patterns.... muah. also have an actual oc named bryony but i did my best to ignore him when designing this bryony.

Wolfsbane - ultraviolet

Inchworm - i like his tail

Glowworm - her tail GLOWS

Byblis - ooohhhhh they fuckin PIMK

Pokeweed - hints of violent magenta in an otherwise cool green

Hazel - I give leafwing queens a thorn crown. i thought it was a cool idea but then i found out that it can also be considered a jesus thing. ive never read jesus though so like. coninkydink.

Sequoia - leafwings have green blood cause of that CLOROPHYL BABY!!!!!!! ive visited both a sequoia and redwood national park and those trees are massive. so she is massive too. she has a peg leg cause. war veteran. is blind in one eye. also do we ever learn what happened to her. does she. become queen again after tfoh?? or does she let hazel keep it??

Grayling - hes described to have scales the color of “a pile of chinchillas”

Hawthorn - EVIL time..... 2009 sparkledog oc energy was what i tried to channel

Cochiniel - Did wasp mcmurder her or did she retire. do you think shes still alive that would be so funny. shed surely have to be like 300.

Odollam - i hc theyr related to bryony

Bloodworm - red like blood

Snowfall - SNOWFALL MY BEST FRIEND SNOWFALL. i love her. orange and blue is sooo good. she has heterochromia but she is NOT hetero.

Lappet - dont have many greybrown silkwings despite so many moths irl being greybrown

Ivory - man im sooo glad snowfall has one good adult role model even if its just one of her generals who doesnt hate her

Lynx - LYNX MY BESTIE LYNX. love her. lynx spots. also ik the fandom likes making her cool fun bestie but shes LITERALLY the highest ranked second only to the queen so shes prolly like. real scary.

Mink - babychild....... ough i love she. i like to think that she doesnt get all sad and repressed like other icewing royals

Atala - rose imagery idk

Permafrost - we know hes snowfalls uncle but not on what side so i just made him glaciers other brother. he has similar coloring to snowfall but a similar body shape to glacier. cool.

Ghariel - gave him funky eyes

Crystal - her horns were so fun to draw

Polar bear - baby man little babyman

Opal - i went all out with her design. star spike tail was a must have. her spikes are opalescent

Dragonfly - teal hivewings are underutilized

Rootworm - i think hivweings would wear skirts even if theyre unweildy theyre extra like that

Jerboa I - standard jerboa design. her eyes are more red and horns longer than jerboa iii

Jerboa II - “she went wrong” can mean anything from she cries sometimes to eldrich abomination. i went with the latter. the dark feathers are cause jerboa said she would enchant an ostrich egg. Also i did photoshop real ostrich eyes onto her face youre welcome

Jerboa III - I think her necklace catches all of her scars, even small ones

Luna - I took “wings like cascading sunlight” very differently than her canon design. also purple cause shes based after a LUNA MOTH.

Dusky - puble

Glider - god his design was so fun to read. what do you MEAN LIME GREEN AND ROSE.

Swordtail - “took a cauldron of melted sunlight and flung it on him”

Sage - so TECHNICALLY sage could be a human but on page 112 of the brightest night graphic novel there is a letter adressed to sage in the sandwing library thus i decide they are a sandwing. hashtag nonbinary

Bullfrog - he was so funny i loved him

Pineapple - a littol bit fruity (literal) (figurative)

Carabid - stinky

Sky - basically my peril design but crank the saturation wayyyyy down. he has a rainwing frill like his sister cause i like to think some of chameleon bled through.

Mantis - the mantis hive was said to be scientififc so book

Malachite - cricket but orange

Hornet - I hc her and wasp as twins so their designs are. similar but not the SAME. hornet is more greenish

Clorinde - fun art teacher. also clorinde butterflies are like blank canvases with some paint on them...

Tsetse - i tried to give all the wasp famliy dark stripes

Earwig - red hivewings ended up being really common 

Yellowjacket - zesty and fun. her eye is. i just went bonkers with it

Whitespeck - there were two whitespecks. this one is based off the whitespeck butterfly

Vinegaroon - Vinegaroons can shoot acid so i gave her rainwing-esque fangs. not as bad as rain venom but it would still hurt

Monarch - a dying star. i made her a flamesilk because she desrves it. basically i think royal silkwings were decked out- huge frilly antennae and MASSIVE wings and silk glands on all ankles instead of just the front ones but then wasp killed her whole family so now those genes are rare to nonexistant

Freedom - a lot of designs i see just make her. orange leafwing. i didnt want that so i really muddled her up. shes an ancestor to all tribes! you shouldnt be able to tell whats going on there!!!!!!

[galahgrannies]

Day 1: After both staying with our respective brothers - who live 3 minutes apart - Phil drove us to Botany to pick up The Van and after an hour and a half’s instruction…. off we went! The van is easy to drive (even though it’s French!) and we rolled along nicely but Wendy thinks it rattles a bit. We had this idea that we would try to be at our night’s destination by 4 pm and we drove into Temora at 3.59 pm!!! The country after Yass was beautiful and green with views forever and the farmers there are lucky enough to be able to plant crops. The first caravan park we looked at in Temora didn’t have showers (we have a shower and loo, but currently El’s bag is in there and we’re a bit reluctant to use the loo other than for emergencies!!! The idea of the “dumping” puts us off 😩. But we might get right into it as the days go by.) but this park has good loos and showers and it’s only $25!! It took us a while to work things out - but together with the emergency number at our disposal we are now fully connected. We really needed to go for a walk and walked to IGA and bought a nice bottle of Red and some corn chips and dip and are now emotionally exhausted and relaxing with a drink and nibble. Next challenge is heating up the soup but we’re right onto it. Oh yes… and boiling the kettle and filling up the hotties!!! The air con sounds like we’re about to take off so you might see us floating overhead!!! Wendy is cooking so her photo will have to wait until tomorrow. We are planning to go to Griffith tomorrow and have a bit of a look around and then to Mildura. We’ll stay there or maybe get a bit further. But it’s good to get where we’re staying by 4pm so we can have a walk and not be rushed, chat to the locals, etc.
