“Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.”
Hello art friends! It’s been 84 years since I used Tumblr so I’m still trying to remember how to navigate everything but I hope to start posting here regularly! I’m a small artist from Wales currently setting up everything to start selling my art! I love everything cute, cosy and ~*whimsical*~ you can see some of my work already on Instagram and my website to get a feel for what I do!
I’d love to follow more artists here so feel free to give this post a like or follow so I can find my fellow artists! <3
My wish goes out to everyone who isn’t even hoping for a particularly happy new year—just a quiet one, a peaceful and even boring one, where nothing terrible happens:
So the Shortest Day came and the year died And everywhere down the centuries of the snow‐white world Came people singing, dancing, To drive the dark away.
They lighted candles in the winter trees; They hung their homes with evergreen; They burned beseeching fires all night long To keep the year alive.
And when the new year’s sunshine blazed awake They shouted, reveling. Through all the frosty ages you can hear them Echoing behind us ‐ listen!
All the long echoes, sing the same delight, This Shortest Day, As promise wakens in the sleeping land: They carol, feast, give thanks, And dearly love their friends, And hope for peace.
And so do we, here, now, This year and every year. Welcome Yule!
