I went with "Wonder Flower" rather than "Miracle Flower" in the above translation because the former feels more poetic than the latter.

I turned 50 this year and I don't think I'm technically allowed to continue to use tumblr given the demographics. Just know that the din of the underworld has grown slightly louder to these ears and that you're following the aesthetic tastes of a ripened homosapien. I hope you're good with that dear reader.

Charles Ricketts (1866-1931), 'Ariel's Song to Ferdinand', ''The Magazine of Art'', 1895
"Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Hark! now I hear them — Ding-dong, bell"
