The King's Ring

by Theodore Tilton

I.

Once in Persia reigned a King,

Who upon his signet ring

Graved a maxim true and wise,

Which, if held before his eyes,

Gave him counsel, at a glance,

Fit for every change or chance:

Solemn words, and these are they:

'Even this shall pass away!'

II.

Trains of camels through the sand

Brought him gems from Samarcand;

Fleets of galleys through the seas

Brought him pearls to rival these.

But he counted little gain

Treasures of the mine or main.

What is wealth? the King would say;

'Even this shall pass away.'

III.

In the revels of his court,

At the zenith of the sport,

When the palms of all his guests

Burned with clapping at his jests,

He, amid his figs and wine,

Cried, O loving friends of mine!

Pleasure comes, but not to stay:

'Even this shall pass away.'

IV.

Lady fairest ever seen

Was the bride he crowned his queen.

Pillowed on the marriage-bed,

Whispering to his soul, he said,

Though a bridegroom never pressed

Dearer bosom to his breast,

Mortal flesh must come to clay:

'Even this shall pass away.'

V.

Fighting on a furious field,

Once a javelin pierced his shield.

Soldiers with a loud lament

Bore him bleeding to his tent.

Groaning from his tortured side,

Pain is hard to bear, he cried,

But with patience day by day,

'Even this shall pass away.'

VI.

Towering in the public square

Twenty cubits in the air,

Rose his statue carved in stone.

Then the King, disguised, unknown,

Gazing at his sculptured name,

Asked himself,And what is fame?

Fame is but a slow decay:

'Even this shall pass away.'

VII.

Struck with palsy, sere and old,

Waiting at the Gates of Gold,

Spake he with his dying breath,

Life is done, but what is Death?

Then, in answer to the King,

Fell a sunbeam on his ring,

Showing by a heavenly ray --

Even this shall pass away.

Interviewing Grouchy Ghost Spells

Burn three parts wormwood to one part vervain when summoning ghosts who were suffering from a state of depression when they died. This formula may also be used when communicating with ghosts who haven’t realized that they’re dead, especially if you’re planning to break the news. Alternatively, to raise grumpy and/or unwilling ghosts, you can burn three parts wormwood to one part Solomon’s Seal.

If you anticipate that the ghosts may not be so delighted to see you, and that they may have preferred undisturbed eternal rest, offer honey immediately as a peace offering, to sweet the experience for all concerned.

A poem by Michael Longley

Solomon’s Seal

Shaded by the self-seeded hazels In a back corner of our garden, To the right of the flowering currant An unexpected Solomon’s seal I want to show you. Does it matter Why such graceful bells are so called (Seals of a medieval document?) It’s May, and Solomon says: Rise up, My love, my fair one, and come away, Winter is past, the rain is over And gone, flowers appear on the earth. A solitary cowslip has survived Under our beech the first grass-cutting. The time of the singing of birds is come.

Michael Longley

Spring in the Cheat River Canyon.

From top: lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium pallidum); the pendulous green flowers of striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum); sweet white violet (Viola blanda), which loves cool, moist forests; wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), which has been hybridized with a South American species to produce commercial strawberries; marsh blue violet (Viola cucullata), an elegant, gregarious violet found growing in seeps and along streambanks; smooth Solomon's seal (Polygonatum biflorum); great white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum); a West Virginia white (Pieris virginiensis) sipping nectar from a sweet white violet; and broadleaf toothwort (Cardamine diphylla), the larval host plant for the West Virginia white.

Note: this hauntingly beautiful butterfly, a flitting ghost in Appalachia's April forests, is in serious decline because it confuses invasive garlic mustard for its host plant, Cardamine. Garlic mustard is toxic to its larvae. Another example of how an invasive species can wreak havoc on the vital lifecycles of our native ecosystems.

OC X Canon Week - 2024

Day Four: "Why are you angry with me? You broke my heart!"

Pairing: Solomon (FGO) X River (OC)

An AU where Solomon's wish wasn't to be reincarnated, but instead to be reunited with his lost love and dutiful consort-- the Demon God Aim of the Ars Goetia. By the power of the Grail and therefore through a bend in time, the Heroic Spirit that comes to River's summoning in the Fuyuki Singularity is the Grand Caster himself. Solomon still deeply regrets how he drove Aim to run away during his lifetime and wants to mend things, but he understands that for some reason 'Aim' has reincarnated into a human named 'River' and remembers nothing of their past together. River, however, doesn't hesitate to devote himself wholly to this mage king who claims to love him dearly. This results in him regularly putting himself in danger to protect Solomon, much to Solomon's continued regret.
