For my enemies x

Been here and back…

‘So to the Spear-Danes in the days of old, and to their kings who ruled them with courage and greatness. We have heard of those princes’ heroic campaigns,’ — Anon #Saxon bard 7th cen. C.E (Opening lines of Beowulf,) #Writingcommunity #Authors #Poets #Classics #Saxon #OldEnglish #Beowulf #Bard

‘Elffin brought me forth to test my bardic skills, First above the leader - The grave of Rhufawn with the look of a prince, too young in the earth,’ — Anon Cymraec Bard, (probably Taliesin) Trans. from the ‘The Stanzas of the Graves,’ circa 600 C.E #Cymraec #Etymology

‘Soon, sooner than you can imagine, you will be but ash or bones. And either named or not, even that name is but an echo of that which was. Such that those things you valued while alive are trifling things. Only your truth lives on.’ — Marcus Aurelius #MarcusAurelius #Latin

I literally hate #bluesky No fun, no interaction. Echo chamber if there ever was one. Plus, I’m weird/have ASD - but wtf people! Have you literally all flipped the fuck out? #Writingcommunity #Writers #Authors #Poets #Screenwriters #Playwrights #Artists #Actors #Plays #Classics #booksky

‘He made the Earth upon it, and the skies, and very sea’s waters, and tireless sun and shaded moon waxing unto her fullness, and upon it all the constellations that bedecked heaven - the Pleiades and the Hyades, great Orion and strong Arcturus whom men call the Plough,’ — Homer, Iliad

‘First he forged a shield that was great and heavy, he threw around it three shinning rims and gilt it with a strap cast of silver. Five folds composed the shield itself and upon it were embossed many things of elaborate craftsmanship,’ — Homer, Iliad [Hephaistos crafts Achilles’ shield]

AI is the mind killer

‘The Chair,’ Mine is the eloquence of the wave, wind and fire. I sing in true metre - songs of prophecy, lore and satire. A bard with the mind of a mage. Three times captive in a starry cage. And at midnight’s stony breech, When *I* recite, my store of *awen* is sweet. - Tal

‘Do not worry yourselves about what a *good* man may or may not be — just be one,’ — Marcus Aurelius #MarcusAurelius #Meditations #Latin #Quotes #Philosophy #Stoicism #Rome #Translation #Etymology #Philology #Linguistics #Ancients #History #Culture ‘Suppose I’m back,’ — Aneran

The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious. - #MarcusAurelius

~ Words leapt forth from petals' fall, to a breathless heart that claimed them all "Love me," or "Not," each whisper sought, word by word, a deathless thought Falling like tears, or rain set free, yet still my soul, though bound, won’t quit— I love you far beyond my wit ~ 𝓩𝓪𝔂𝓷𝓪𝓫

I must go now, though in time ‘I *will* return,’ Until then, I will leave you all with this - ‘The evil that men shall bear down upon you will only gain purchase if you return that evil back upon them,’ - Marcus Aurelius #MarcusAurelius #Meditations #Latin #Classics #Philosophy

‘Of Damon and Alphesiboeus now - Those two shepherd singers to which all rivals strain. The Bull forgot to graze, the Lynx - she froze awestruck, and the flowing stream itself was found stuck,’ -Virgil: ‘Eclogue 8’ #Virgil #Eclogues #ClassicLatin #BookSky #Writingcommunity #Poetry #Latin

‘Last night as I lay dreaming, of pleasant days gone by, my mind being bent on rambling, to Ireland I did fly. I stepped onboard a vision, and I followed with the wind, then I shortly came to anchor, at the cross on Spancil hill,’ -Anon, ‘Spancil Hill,’ #CelticFolk #Folk #Ireland #Poetry

Literally everyone I grew up around in bonny Ecosse…

People have too few or too many ideas. Goldilocks was not a writer. Non-writers: How do you come up with all those ideas? Writers: I have too many ideas to ever finish. I'm knee-deep in unfinished projects. That random thing you said just inspired another idea. #authorsky #writingcommunity #writers

‘The truth of the Bards,’ they oft say - tis’ no truth at all, but a simple kenning for a *lie* made truth by the authority of those who have speech, against those who do not… -Aneran

‘In the mists of time before *The Beginning*, Fate and Chance cast lots to decide whose the game should be; and he that won strode through the mists to *Mana-Yood-Sushai* and said: “Now make gods for Me, for I have won the cast and the game is Mine,” Who it was that won the cast - *none knoweth* 😳

@evilbedtimestories.bsky.social Sorry for the short replies earlier! I was at work 🙄 Just never forget - ‘At his house in R’lyeh dead Cthulhu awaits dreaming - not dead - which can eternal lie, and with strange eons - even death may die!’ -H.P Lovecraft My favourite quote.
