Hey!
I thought maybe you could help me in my quest. I've made two bookmarks for a friend with watercolors. One of them is a small fox looking at fallen leaves flying above his head, as if he were mesmerized by them. And I've been trying to find a good quote to accompany it on the back of the bookmark, but I haven't been successful so far.
I'm looking either for a poetry excerpt (my bookmark is 1/8 of an A4 sheet of paper, so nothing that would be very long [like a full sonnet haha] but I still have some space) or a quote of any kind, in French or in English, both are fine.
Would you have any that would make a good fit? Maybe an autumn-y one?
[I don't want to influence you, but for example, for the second one which is a sky at almost-dusk-time with a washed-out blue sky and soft pink clouds, I have a quote from one of the Anne of Green Gables books by Lucy Maud Montgomery:
"In daylight I belong to the world, in the night to sleep and eternity. But in the dusk I'm free from both and belong only to myself."]
Much thanks, and scritches to your various animals :)
Handmade watercolour bookmarks are such a nice idea for a gift, I love it <3
I vexed myself thinking about your request because I learn poetry by heart so often, or small book excerpts, but when someone asks me to dig up a topical quote my mental library is suddenly empty. I wish I had a tag system for my brain.
I vaguely remember an Alfred Desrochers poem the first stanza of which was "Le vent est froid, le ciel est gris, la terre est rousse / L'automne est revenu par septembre apporté / Et les arbres, devant la mort du bel été / Pleurent des larmes d'or [?quelque chose?] sur la mousse." And something by Francis Jammes about "ces jours qu'empourpraient les agonies solaires de l'automne" but no recollection beyond that...
I also remember some meager excerpts from "Matin d'octobre" by François Coppée, "A travers la brume automnale / Tombent les feuilles du jardin / [???] / Une blonde lumière arrose / La nature, et dans l'air tout rose / On croirait qu'il neige de l'or."
And one of my favourite poems by Marie-Claire Bancquart, "Je marche dans la solitude des livres", "Beyond the garden, beyond the moment at hand, are the fallen shells of chestnuts, the fire of leaves in the mist..."
And a verse by Ernest Dowson that went "And are we not better and at home / in dreamful autumn...? "
Maybe a couple of lines from this e.e. cummings poem? What my brain retained of it was "the glory is fallen out of the sky, this is the passing of all shining things"...
(if a fox could write autumn poetry I think it would sound like this poem. "no lingering no backward-wondering straight glad feet fear ruining lead us into the serious darkness...")
I also like this sentence by Elizabeth Coatsworth, from her book Personal Geography: "The magic of autumn has seized the countryside; now that the sun isn’t ripening anything it shines for the sake of the golden age; for the sake of Eden; to please the moon for all I know."
Anyway, love the idea of handmade illustrated bookmarks :) It reminds me of a calendar I made for a friend years ago, I wrote a little poem for each month and illustrated it. One of the poems was about having a snail friend:

Canon Wolfpack Family Connections
Compiled information and family connections that literally took weeks for me to tie together correctly. All information/clues taken from The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide.  It’s still kind of a mess, but that is literally SM’s fault lol. Ateara Line: *Jacob and Quil are 2nd cousins on the Ateara side - Jacob's mother was Sarah Wilde, Quil's father's first cousin. Quil Ateara II, of the previous wolf-pack, is their mutual great-grandfather. *Leah, Seth, and Emily are second cousins on the Ateara side. *Leah & Seth are second cousins with Brady (On the Clearwater and Black lines as well) and third cousins with Jacob and Quil on the Ateara side. (Brady is also third cousins with Jacob through the black and Clearwater lines) *Claire, Quil's imprint, is Emily's niece and therefore Quil's third cousin, once removed. *Quil and Bella are 2nd cousins (Quil's grandma is Charlie's great-aunt, Molly Swan, who was married to Quil III, aka Old Quil). This makes Quil V the mutual cousin of Jacob and Bella (and of course Renesmee and Claire). *Quil's great aunt, Amelia, is also Sue's grandmother. *If Jacob and Ness have kids, their children would be BOTH Quil's 2nd cousin, once removed, AND his third cousin, once removed. *Quil and Claire's children would also be their own second AND third cousins, once removed. Uley Line: *Leah and Sam - third cousins. *Leah is the mutual cousin of Sam and Emily. If Sam and Emily are related to each other, it is at least seven generations back. *Sue is Sam's 2nd cousin, once removed through the Uley side and her maiden name is Uley. She and Sam's father, Joshua Uley, share a set of great-grandparents. *Sue's great-grandfather, Caleb Uley, married Alice Huautah, who was the granddaughter of the First Jacob Black, Jacob's fourth great grandfather. *Paul is Leah, Seth, and Sam's third cousin on the Uley line but his blood connection to Jacob, Rachel, and Rebecca is seven or more generations back (Because, remember - everyone with the wolf-gene descends from Taha-Aki. They are ALL related, however distantly. *Paul and Rachel's children will be Leah and Seth's cousins three, four, possibly five times over with the Ateara, Black, Clearwater, Uley, AND Young family lines all combining together. They will also be siblings/cousins.
Black Line:
*Leah and Seth are third cousins with Jacob, Rachel, and Rebecca through the Black family line *Jared is Leah and Seth's third cousin once removed on the Uley side - He is fifth cousins with Leah, Seth, and Jacob on the Black side. *Collin is Jacob's first cousin through the Black, Clearwater, Young, and Ateara lines. He is third cousins with Leah and Seth through the Black lineage but his connection through the Littlesea/Clearwater lineage is unclear. (Harry’s mother was a Littlesea) *Jared is Fifth cousins with Jacob, Leah, Seth, and Collin through the Black and Clearwater lines, but is not part of the young line. *Billy and Sue are second cousins, once removed through the Black line, their common ancestor the first Jacob Black.
*Jacob is also part of the Young and Clearwater lines. Ephriam's wife was Martha Young, Jacob's great-grandmother. Ephriam's mother was Jane Clearwater. This makes Leah/Seth and Jacob/Rachel/Rebecca fourth cousins on the Clearwater side, though SM didn't provide the information to figure out the exact placement in the Young line. Emily's placement on the young line is in question as well but Emily does share at least one great-grandparent with Leah and Seth through the Ateara line. Her grandparent, however, remains unclear. It is either Daniel Clearwater OR Brady's great-grandmother, Lucy. *Sue and Harry have a mutual great-aunt by marriage, Jane Clearwater - This makes Billy their mutual cousin by both marriage and blood, creating yet another crossover in Jacob's lineage.
*Jared's imprint, Kim, is potentially the only imprint that is NOT already related to the rest of the wolfpack in some shape or form. Since we're never given her last name lineage, that's a big if lol.

So I recently binge-read the Anarchy Dreamers webcomic, which is about a world where often when kids (and maybe some adults? I can't remember) die, they come back from the dead with supernatural powers and/or physical changes (but their nightmares can wreak havoc on the world). Those who come back from the dead are called both dreamers and dreamwalkers, though occasionally death isn’t neccessary. And now I kind of want to write an AU about it, so...
AU where the Reckless Club+Darci all got Saturday detention with Senor Uhl... however, there was a fire that would later be blamed on faulty electrical. Only Senor Uhl and Shannon made it out alive. The other seven students all made it out undead. Now, five of them are illegally fighting nightmares.
(Warning: below the cut there are mild Wizards spoilers)
Reckless Dreamers
Jim
Physical changes: he basically became troll!Jim but the changes are almost entirely cosmetic.
Powers: He can manifest armor and weapons.
Jim is one of the first of the seven of them to start fighting nightmares.
Claire
Physical changes: her blue streak turned white, and her irises turned purple. When she feels intense anger or fear, her hair turns fully white, her sclera turn black, and her pupils turn pale purple.
Powers: She can control shadows so they take other shapes. In addition, she (and up to two other people; she has to hold their hand) can use shadows to travel from one place to another.
Claire holds off on fighting nightmares for a while because of her mom, but when her own nightmare threatens Enrique she is able to fight back against it - something incredibly rare for dreamwalkers... then again, there could be an outside influence affecting her.
Toby
Physical changes: his teeth are now orange crystals; at least he no longer needs braces!
Powers: Gravity manipulation
Toby finds out that Jim is fighting nightmares, alone, and immediately decides that he needs to help his best friend.
Steve
Physical changes: he has small horns that probably look like either Draal’s or Gunmar’s
Powers: not much beyond enhanced physical strength
Steve started fighting nightmares soon after Jim and Toby started, but it was a while before he and Eli teamed up with Jim, Toby, and Claire.
Eli
Physical changes: if you shine a light at his eyes, his pupils will reflect green light
Powers: mild telekinesis, enhanced reflexes and dexterity
He has theories about the fire and the nature of nightmares, and he’s going to get answers, dammit!
Darci
Physical changes: Pink mole ears
Powers: Unknown
Darci doesn’t fight nightmares because it’s illegal and there’s people with actual training who are doing so, but she also won’t snitch on the others to her dad because she knows they’re trying to do the right thing
Mary
Physical changes: her hair is now more of a really dark red than a true black
Powers: Invisibility
Mary chooses not to fight, but she does casually help the others avoid detection
Other Dreamers
Blinky
Powers: He can make things combust
Physical changes: Four arms, six eyes.
Blinky is the school guidance counselor, and he’s been trying to get the Reckless Dreamers into his office to try and help them cope with their changes. He’s also trying to monitor Shannon to see if she manifests dreamwalker traits. Unfortunately, there are only so many hours of the day. He lives with his husband Arghamount in Trollmarket, a suburb of Arcadia Oaks where a large percentage of the population is dreamers.
Strickler
Powers: knife summoning
Physical changes: wings, horns
Strickler is the only other adult dreamwalker at Arcadia Oaks High (not counting the occasional 18-year-old who is about to graduate). He is secretly a member of the Janus Order, a political group that believes dreamwalkers are better than most humans (but does not advocate for the deaths of normal humans, unlike more extreme dreamwalker supremacist groups)
Aja & Krel
Physical changes: They now have four arms each and cyan blood. Their eyes are now the same as their Akiridion eyes. Aja was shorter than Krel before they died; now she’s taller.
Powers: They both have light manipulation, which allows them to look like their living forms. Aja is able to create hard light weaponry/shoot lasers. Krel can create portals.
The Tarron siblings really are a pair of human twins (Aja will not shut up about being four minutes older) who escaped the violent coup of their home country of Cantaloupia. Varvatos was supposed to get the two of them and their parents to America, where they would live with Fialkov’s eccentric second cousin (Lucy) and her husband (Ricky). All four Tarrons were gunned down as they escaped via a truck. Aja and Krel came back from the dead; Fialkov and Coranda did not.
Merlin
Physical changes: honestly he’s so old and the changes were so subtle that he no longer remembers
Powers: longevity, among other things
Merlin helped to start Camelot LLC with Arthur’s grandfather, Aurelius Pendragon. As the years have gone on, Merlin has been slowly locked out of Camelot LLC. He has a license to fight nightmares internationally.
Morgana
Physical changes: Five tiny gold horns have formed along her brow. Her nails also naturally grow in as gold claws.
Powers: levitation, shadow manipulation, low-level telepathy
Morgana died when she was sixteen, due to a camping accident gone wrong. She also lost her left hand in this accident. No one’s sure, but it’s suspected that Guinevere’s death was caused by Morgana’s nightmare. Morgana is secretly channeling Camelot LLC funds into the Janus Order. She’s going to take interest in Claire’s abilities sooner or later.
Douxie
Physical changes: His bangs are naturally blue. When he feels intense emotions his eyes glow blue.
Powers: part of his soul effectively split off into a talking dragon-cat; though Archie might actually be the result of a nightmare. Douxie might have other powers as well.
Douxie became a dreamwalker as a homeless orphaned five-year-old, and his circumstances didn’t get better until three years later, when Merlin rescued Douxie from his own nightmare, adopted him, and brought him back with him to California. Merlin has encouraged Douxie to fight against nightmares, even though it’s not legal. Now that Douxie is nearly an adult, Merlin often leaves him alone with Archie in their Arcadia Oaks apartment for days at a time. Morgana will often check up on Douxie, if she’s visiting the Janus Order. It’s technically neglect, but Douxie doesn’t see anything wrong with this considering his life before Merlin.
Zoe
Physical changes: gills, fins, and scales as seen in this post where I illustrate them
Powers: lightning control
Zoe drowned in a swimming pool when she was twelve. She’s one of the few dreamers at Arcadia Oaks Academy other than Douxie.
Seamus
Physical changes: he gained swirling tattoos across his upper back. They faintly glow when he uses his powers.
Powers: Density control
Seamus died of a bad case of food poisoning when he was eleven. He joined the Junior Dreamer Guard (it’s like JROTC) in hopes that it’ll help him get a scholarship.
Araceli Conrad
Physical changes: her bones are now crystalline in nature
Powers: magnetism (if she teamed up with Zoe they could use light manipulation)
Conrad was crushed by falling furniture when she was 14. The only people allowed to call her by her first name are her grandmother and her girlfriend, Shannon, but that doesn’t mean that everyone respects this.
Nana
Physical changes: Her eyes are a brighter shade of green than they were prior to becoming a dreamer
Powers: Longevity
Nancy became a dreamer in World War One
The Living
Shannon
Has survivor’s guilt. She’s looking into the fire, to see if there was anything suspicious about it.
Arthur
Known for being the CEO of the company Camelot LLC, and also having anti-dreamer political policies despite his sister and one of the company founders both being dreamers. His politics have become harsher ever since Guinevere died under mysterious circumstances.
Kubritz
Military; she’s been experimenting on ways to fight nightmares while not involving dreamers. She’s also conducting illegal experiments on dreamers.

INAUGURAL SUNDAY FUNDAY
For our first ever Sunday Funday we are sharing this delightful find from our Historical Curriculum Collection, A Child’s Bestiary by John Gardner in collaboration with his children! John Gardner was a novelist and literary professor with an interest in mythology, he also wrote a retelling of Beowulf from the monster’s point of view, Grendel.  Gardner included poems by Eugene Rudzewicz and Gardner’s daughter Lucy, while the drawings were done by the whole Gardner family, John, his wife Joan, and his kids Lucy and Joel.
This book comes out of the medieval tradition of bestiary manuscripts, which were compendiums of beasts with Christian moral meanings. But he also finds inspiration from the early modern abecedarium, so that all the beasts are arranged alphabetically.
Kirkus Review  praised A Child’s Bestiary, published in 1977 by Knopf and distributed by Random House,  for the satire in its morals, especially when paired with the alternately childish and skilled illustrations. Today we are only showing you the ‘A’ animals; The African Wild Dog, The Alligator and The Armadillo. Look forward to the following weeks of Sunday Funday to see more animals as we travel through the Alphabet to Z!
