Under a crescent moon, two cats fraternize on the rooftop. Below them is the shadow of two people conversing behind the translucent sliding screen. The marginal text comments that “there’s no difference between high love and low love” (Japanese postcard, 1908)

Zelensky's decree allowing the Red Square parade is important beyond its entertainment value. It shows Ukraine's military threat was credible enough to Pu that he had to beg Trump to beg Zelensky for a ceasefire. The proof that Ze's power goes beyond coms is in the 1000 POWs who'll go home tomorrow.

The Anglo-Saxon Abingdon Sword dates back to around 875 CE and is one of the most important examples of late Anglo-Saxon silversmith art. The sword was found in 1874 at Bog’s Mill near the town of Abingdon in Oxfordshire.

Tonight, look for May's full moon: the Milk Moon. 🌕🐄 An Anglo-Saxon name, it nods to a time when cows were milked three times daily thanks to lush spring pastures. Its other names, Flower Moon, & Budding Moon, also celebrate spring's abundance. Moonrise: 21:09*

Happy May Day! Celebrated on 1 May every year, May Day is a festival of ancient origins that marks the beginning of summer. In Oxford, celebrations begin at 6am with the Choir of Magdalen College singing from the tower, which you can see here in this watercolour by William Turner of Oxford.

UP THE MAY! In case you missed it, or you want to see it again, here’s a taste of the Hymnus Eucharisticus from the top of the Tower on May Morning. It was so wonderful to see you all packed onto the High for another beautiful May Morning.
