Talk:Andromeda, and Other Poems/The Sands of Dee

variant

The word 'dark' was changed to dank, this was validated against a version, though the former gets hits as a variant.

The following note also appeared in the header, the author is not given so I moved it here. Cygnis insignis (talk) 19:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I have often had the pleasure of riding across the coast from Chester, England, to Rhyl, on the north coast of Wales, where stretch "The Sands of Dee" (Charles Kingsley, 1819-75). These purple sands at low tide stretch off into the sea miles away, and are said to be full of quicksands.

@Cygnis insignis: Any objections to my linking this page to an indexed source? It would mean losing the picture, but I can place these notes and the image in the new Talk page? Londonjackbooks (talk) 20:16, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

There is a bug/feature in ping templates that doesn't allow a fix after saving, but this was the first thing I noticed on my watchlist (misspelling pseudo-latin is forgivable :)

I'm thinking another version that transcribes the image as a source, maybe cleanup to illustration to that, but haven't looked any further than that. I'm fine with moving it to a scan based version, and revisit this dark and dank business that I only vaguely remember. CYGNIS INSIGNIS 06:08, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I will get to it soon :) ... I have been accustomed to writing the term "Ignis Fatuus" the past couple years, and so it is likely that was rolling around in my brain when I spelled your name. Londonjackbooks (talk) 10:01, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm going to add that to my accolades CYGNIS INSIGNIS 12:14, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Goggle proffered this File:Arnold_Böcklin_-_Das_Irrlicht_-1882.jpeg, which heads our article. CYGNIS INSIGNIS 12:18, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Yesss. "Fogo Fatuo" in Portuguese (foolish fire). Londonjackbooks (talk) 14:20, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
