“As it fantasizes, poetry comes across nature. The real, living world is the only project of the imagination which has once succeeded and which still goes on being endlessly successful. Look at it continuing, moment after moment a success. It is still real, still deep, utterly absorbing. It is not something you are disappointed in next morning. It serves the poet as example, even more than a sitter or a model.”

Moon 4 Page 6

One more page left for this moon ahh!! I'm so excited for the next moon, I love how the backgrounds turned out plus they're SUPER recent and I've been a lot better on keeping these suckers on model. I oughta pay more attention to their character sheets... and make those sheets haha

Solstice Trio

An hour after sunset on this summer solstice brings us a cosmic trio: Mars, Venus, and a waxing crescent moon (14.1%). Mars is toward the upper left, very faint, but with a red hue.
