“Novembre” di Giovanni Pascoli: La Fragile Bellezza dell’Estate dei Morti. Recensione di Alessandria today

Una poesia che cattura la malinconia dell'autunno e l’effimera quiete che precede l’inverno.

Una poesia che cattura la malinconia dell’autunno e l’effimera quiete che precede l’inverno. Novembre è una delle poesie più evocative e malinconiche di Giovanni Pascoli, in cui il poeta esplora il tema dell’autunno come metafora della transitorietà della vita. L’atmosfera è cristallina e ingannevolmente serena, conun’aria così limpida e un sole così splendente che quasi viene naturale…

The wonderful and distinctive aroma of bog myrtle is only released into the air on warm, sunny days, which, as many of Algy's friends will know from his adventures, occur only rarely in the wild West Highlands of Scotland…

But it brings to those few balmy days a quality which all who experience it never forget, for the combination of that unique fragrance with the other scents peculiar to the peat bogs (and indeed to "the hills of the North") creates a lasting memory of an environment "far from the madding crowd" where - providing the weather is kind - it is still possible to find comfort and peace.

So Algy hopped down from his view point and nestled deep into one of the many ragged bushes which were scattered across the hillside. Taking a big, deep breath he inhaled the scent of the aromatic leaves, rejoicing not only in the delightfully invigorating effect, but also in the knowledge that the infamous Scottish midges so little appreciate the benefits of this particular herb that their vast hordes would keep well away from him so long as he stayed close to the protective bog myrtle. 😀

Let them boast of Arabia, oppressed By the odour of myrrh on the breeze; In the isles of the East and the West That are sweet with the cinnamon trees Let the sandal-wood perfume the seas; Give the roses to Rhodes and to Crete, We are more than content, if you please, With the smell of bog-myrtle and peat! Though Dan Virgil enjoyed himself best With the scent of the limes, when the bees Hummed low 'round the doves in their nest, While the vintagers lay at their ease, Had he sung in our northern degrees, He'd have sought a securer retreat, He'd have dwelt, where the heart of us flees, With the smell of bog-myrtle and peat! Oh, the broom has a chivalrous crest And the daffodil's fair on the leas, And the soul of the Southron might rest, And be perfectly happy with these; But WE, that were nursed on the knees Of the hills of the North, we would fleet Where our hearts might their longing appease With the smell of bog-myrtle and peat!

[Algy is quoting the poem To C H Arkcoll by the 19th century Scottish author and collector of folk and fairy tales, Andrew Lang.]

For those interested: bog myrtle (Myrica gale) has long been used in traditional herbal medicine, as it has many useful properties. The Herbal Resource has further information.

Takase Myrica ; Original Character ☆ BINDing

[pnwnativeplants]

Myrica californica or pacific wax myrtle is an attractive evergreen shrub which thrives in a wade range of conditions. From dry to moist sites...and full sun to partial shade. They can grow up to 15ft in height, but take to pruning well and can be made to form hedges. They’re easy to grow as well, which makes them a strong choice for replacing non-native evergreen shrubs in commercial landscaping. It provides excellent forage for birds, which most non-native or invasive landscape shrubs do not.

[scismatico]

I implemented long ago the rule of not trusting anything the spectres in my skull conjure in front of me after 9pm but (longest most dreadful sigh ever) I am so scared of what my future holds for me... I have little certainties & only one big dream I intend to follow to its bitter end augh, the world has been kind to me in so many ways but perhaps twice as cruel and I worry!!! I will probably go watch some pastry videos on youtube to calm myself... Goodnight ...

La poesia simbolica di Pascoli esplora la fragilità della vita e il legame tra i vivi e i defunti in una notte intrisa di profumi e silenzi

La poesia simbolica di Pascoli esplora la fragilità della vita e il legame tra i vivi e i defunti in una notte intrisa di profumi e silenzi. Il gelsomino notturno è una delle poesie più celebri di Giovanni Pascoli, un capolavoro che rappresenta l’essenza simbolista e malinconica della sua produzione. Pubblicata nel 1901, questa poesia è un’esplorazione della notte come luogo di mistero e di…

not a request id jst like to know how you color your graphics :3

‧₊˚౨ৎ good day to you, patron. indeed you may know how I color my graphics. I should share a fair warning beforehand, I do not claim my method of coloring images as the best or only method- there are many viable methods, though, I have found this one works best for my needs.

chapter I ⠀⠀✧ ⠀⠀image choice + program

‧₊˚౨ৎ for this tutorial, I will be using argenti's lightcone, 'an instant before a gaze.' such a beautiful lightcone will do wonderfully for a profile picture in my next edit, which you may want to keep an eye out for. the program I use is firealpaca, it is a free and easy to use drawing app that I have also found suitable for editing. however, this tutorial should apply to all programs usable for edits, so long as it has filters.

chapter II ⠀⠀✧ ⠀⠀color choice

‧₊˚౨ৎ the next step is to choose your colors. I typically only need two to begin recoloring my images, and if needed, I will change throughout the process. however, for simplicity's sake, I've chosen two colors for this edit. I quite like argenti in red, so I will be keeping him in red for this edit. I tend to memorize the general placement of my colors upon the color chart, but if you hold concerns for memorizing your colors, do not fret. I suggest placing your colors on a different layer so you may color pick them as needed. now that we have our colors, we may continue.

chapter III ⠀⠀✧ ⠀⠀beginning the recoloring

‧₊˚౨ৎ to begin coloring, create a new layer, and make sure it is above the image. I start off by using the gradient tool provided by firealpaca to place both colors in a nice gradient, in either order, and then change the blending filter to 'color.' you will see the image change into your desired colors in a natural way; if it does not look like how you imagined, attempt to adjust the opacity or the colors you are using before continuing. as you can see, the image is extremely red, so I will be turning the opacity down for a more natural recoloring.

‧₊˚౨ৎ that is a much better recoloring. it is less bright, and more akin to ambient lighting. this satisfies my needs, so I will continue onto the next step. to continue, you may either create a new layer with the gradient of colors again, or you may simply duplicate the layer from before and adjust as needed. I have chosen to do the latter. after you have the new gradient layer, combine the original gradient layer down to the image after you are certain it suits your tastes.

chapter IV ⠀⠀✧ ⠀⠀continuing to edit

‧₊˚౨ৎ now that you know the basics on how I personally choose to edit, it makes continuing the recoloring much easier. after this, you can duplicate the gradient as many times as needed, or create new gradients and adjust the opacity and the blending filters. I typically tend to use the following filters during my editing, though I may not use all of them if not needed- multiply, overlay, screen, lighten, darken, soft light, hard light, and then color. these are simply my most used filters, and I may branch out into hue or saturation change as needed, though rarely do. feel free to play around with your blending filters, it's important to find which filters suit your preferences and needs most, patron. for this edit, I used mostly multiply, overlay, and screen, and adjusted filters opacity as needed.

chapter V ⠀⠀✧ ⠀⠀returning to old roots

‧₊˚౨ৎ this step is entirely optional, but I enjoy doing this. I like to add a touch of different colors during my recoloring, and in this case, I would like to bring back argenti's green eyes. fetch an image of the character once more, and use it to color pick the color you wish to bring into the edit. in this case, I've used argenti's chibi sticker in order to return his original eye color. you may create a new layer with these colors as well, if you wish to, but I am usually fine to just remember it. this method is the same one I used to bring back the green hues in my personal graphics when editing them.

‧₊˚౨ৎ using your brush tool and on a new layer, color over and fill in the area you wish to recolor. since the area is small, this step is fairly easy, and I simply recolor over the pupil. then, set the blending filter to color, and adjust opacity as needed. you may also attempt to set the filter to overlay or multiply, the blending filter which works best to you is to be discovered by you, but I personally find the color filter to be enough. after this step, I tend to add another layer; in this case, I added an extra screen layer, to add more into it. be sure to add as much as you feel is needed.

chapter VI ⠀⠀✧ ⠀⠀finale

‧₊˚౨ৎ and this is the completed product. though it may not be the best recolor I've done to this day, it certainly befits a good tutorial and sample of how I tend to do my projects. I do hope this helps you color your graphics and images as well, patron. thank you for the question, it was a very fun experience writing up a small tutorial such as this one. do have a good day, now, and until we meet again, patron.

Savoring the Essence of Meghalaya: Exploring the Enchanting Sohphie Fruit.

A locally foraged variety of the Box Myrtle Bayberries is found across the hills of Jaintia in Meghalaya and has a special taste that will sweep you off your feet. Commonly known as Sophie fruit, this is one of the most famous wild delicacies in Meghalaya.

Side note- Culturally, it marks the arrival of springtime in Meghalaya.

Now, there are two types of Sohphie: the larger, juicy greenish-yellow ones (Myrica esculenta), and the smaller, sweeter, deep red ones (Myrica nagi or sohphie-nam).

Sohphie fruits are typically used to make pickles, jams, and jellies due to their short freshness period of 2-3 days after being plucked. The fruit is also used to make 'um sohphie', a drink that is said to relieve stomach upsets and other digestive issues.

Have you tried this mouth-watering delicacy?
