🖼️ Newton Smith Fielding, 1821. Badger in rural landscape with ruins, illlustration.

‘The badger grunting on his woodland track
With shaggy hide and sharp nose scrowed with black
Roots in the bushes and the woods, and makes
A great high burrow in the ferns and brakes.’ ~ John Clare

Reading Alice Toklas' description of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. She writes that the heat from the fire caused carnations to bloom early. That's intense. But also beautiful.
