Beauty and the Beast - How Different Artists Saw the Beast Differently

Maybe. Everybody looks calmer while sleeping.

Beauty and the Beast - How Different Artists Saw the Beast Differently

Almost all artists made the Beast as a mixture of human and monstrous characteristics.

Yes, it was my first thought as well. The Beast is under spell.

The Gardens of the British Working Class: a review

After the war people were exhausted, some subjects meriting research might have been neglected.

Edible Flowers

Many of the explorers were Protestant and had no interest in Mary.

The Haunted Hill Fort: Chanctonbury Ring

I do not know the area well enough to hazard a guess.

Tryfan and the Glyders: One of Wales' Toughest Walks

It is likely that such an effort will be made, but keeping up with changes is not easy.

The Gardens of the British Working Class: a review

Thank you!

A Dig for Victory Unitedstatesian equivalent nowadays might involve government employees noticing particularly economical, efficacious farming and plant-growing.

Might there have been some attention on that order for the Dig for Victory campaign or might strained budgets and people and resources have precluded such attention?

Or might there have been some investigation, research or study postwar to note why some Victory diggers were less or more successful than, or successfully the same as, others?

The Anne Anderson Beast has something around his neck.

That neck-choker is unsettling as a neck-choker. It's somewhat unsettling, because of invoking collar-like associations, but less so, as neck jewelry of someone of power and wealth.

Might that neck-choker suggest Beast as under someone's power and sway and therefore not himself or might it suggest his higher socio-economic niche than Beauty's?

Edible Flowers

Thank you!

Blue-flowering plants are in evidence in the south upper yard with blue periwinkle (Vinca major), grape hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum), violets (Viola spp) and Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica). More, such as chicory (Cichorium intybus), come shortly.

Might blue-flowering plants particularly catch the attention of British-Isles explorers, plant-hunters and settlers because of blue associations as the Our Lady Mary color?

The Haunted Hill Fort: Chanctonbury Ring

Thank you!

Such prayer-counterproductive sites perhaps appear more unsettling than outright dangerous. That could explain not letting the prayerful trekker beware.

Might you know the area well enough to hazard an "educated guess" as to which places might be less friendly to successful, sustained prayer?

Tryfan and the Glyders: One of Wales' Toughest Walks

Thank you!

It's sad to ponder lost names, such as a possible Welsh equivalent for Heather Terrace, and lost meanings, such as Tryfan.

It's surprising to ponder the wide range of possible meanings that online sources present.

Might there ever be an effort to present new Welsh names for places and things with only English-named survivors?

Recommendation.

The Gardens of the British Working Class: a review

Thank you!

A Unitedstatesian counterpart might tend toward required classes, required certification, required inspections.

That arrangement seems cost-, personnel-, resource-intensive for wartime efforts even as it tends toward such a configuration nowadays, for instance in organic farming.

Would the government advice have been a recommendation or a requirement in the Dig for Victory campaign?

Beauty and the Beast - How Different Artists Saw the Beast Differently

Somewhat scary- and strange-headed approximates how the Warwick Goble image appears.

That scariness, that strangeness perhaps associates less strongly in a sleeping Beast.

The Warwick Goble Beast becomes less scary, less strange with his human body even as it can be disconcerting, even upsetting to close in on an unexpected, unknown Frankenstein perhaps angry and vengeful over his not all beast, not all human look.

Was Warwick Goble alone in working his Beast into semi-beast, semi-human?
