THE SPIDER AS AN ARTIST
Emily Dickinson
The Spider as an Artist
Has never been employed—
Though his surpassing Merit
Is freely certified
By every Broom and Bridget
Throughout a Christian Land—
Neglected Son of Genius
I take thee by the Hand—

I am watching this just past the witching hour and bravo! Hilarious, chic, stylized and amazing. How did you find this? You astound me, Lotus.
Wonderful pictures! Especially the first one.
thank you princess, watching in the middle of the night--priceless. oddly, i was looking for a video of spiders and for some reason that popped up!
and thanks changes--that woman's headdress reminded me of lalique, like that first picture, and like the firebird one too.
Another perfect jewel of a post. A few years ago there was a Lalique exhibit in DC that a friend and I went to. Mostly jewelry. I was reluctant to go because the only Lalique I knew was the modern-day porcelain (sp?) work we see. We were stunned. In fact, when we finished going through the exhibit, we went and had something to eat because we had to pull ourselves together and then went back for a second time. He returned a third time. I've never seen such gorgeous, imaginative work.
today's post is for you.
while i know that his glassware is different from his jewelry, when i was in paris, it was a string of his simple glass beads which ended up being most memorable for me as they seemed to hold actual moonlight
