“No Sanctuary It’s Hallowe’en. The turnip-man’s lopped head Blazes at us through split bottle glass And fumes and swims up like a wrecker’s lantern. Death mask of harvest, l mocker at All Souls With scorching smells, red dog’s eyes in the night We ring and stare into unhallowed light” Seamus Heaney

The turnip is what I grew up with. When darkness fell, you'd go out with your lantern and sparklers, and the world of winter was upon you, with ragged trees and starlings swirling above at sunset. The next day the smell of the lantern was putrification. Can't help think now, pure phenomenology

Keeper of the Natural History Museum of Ireland, Paolo Viscardi talks weird collections, ‘sexy’ science and the role of museums in a biodiversity crisis.
