I saw pale kings, and princes too, Pale warriors, death pale were they all; They cried—“La belle dame sans merci Hath thee in thrall!” —John Keats, “La Belle Dame sans Merci” A revised version of Keats’s poem was first published 226 years ago today, 10 May 1820.

Fascinating talk on 20 May hosted by the University of Hertfordshire that will 'explore the representation of the Ningyo or Japanese human fish Yokai; a creature of genderless hybridity that functions as both a prophecy beast and a Mer Monster.' Link here opengravesopenminds.com/events/folklor…

In European folklore, sun-loving fairies transformed into yellow dandelions to avoid being crushed by humans. This explains the plant's resilience when stepped on. They are called “Fairy Clocks” because the flowers open and close at precise times, and their fluffy seed heads were believed to tell time based on how many puffs it took to blow them bare.

For #FairyTaleTuesday’s mermaid theme here is a fragment from my rather overlong narrative poem based on the folklore of Mélusine. This stanza was directly influenced by lines from John Keats’s poem Lamia (1820), as is the painting, Waterhouse’s first version of Lamia (1905).
