The Purging of the Great Thorns

The sun was not merely a ball of burning gas to the folk of the Sandleford Warren; it was Frith, the Great Eye, the golden source of all life and the witness to every twitch of a whisker. But on this day, the air felt heavy, tasting of ozone and the cold, sharp scent of worked iron. Fiver, the small, twitching seer of the rabbits, sat atop the Honeycomb, his ears flat against his back. "It’s coming, Hazel", he whispered, his voice trembling like a leaf in a gale. "A great white light. Not the light of Frith that warms the fur, but a light that eats the world. Man has grown too clever. He has stolen the fire from the center of the earth and pointed it at the sky". Hazel looked toward the horizon.

Echoes of a Lanterned Past

Echoes of a Lanterned Past

A nostalgic journey through the charm of antiquity, where lanterns illuminate the night and Shakespeare's legacy enlivens the soul.




In the hush of twilight, lanterns glowed,
Flickering whispers of stories untold,
Wooden wagons, sturdy as the earth,
Rolled through the cobblestone, steeped in mirth.

Horses snorted, rhythm of hooves like heartbeats,
While laughter danced, interweaving with the beats,
Each shadow cast a tapestry of dreams,
Beneath starlit canopies, the world gleams.

Shakespeare's quill inked the essence of night,
Words spun like silk, taking flight in the light,
His voice, a symphony, weaving fate and lore,
Echoing through the ages, forever adored.

The stage adorned with moonlight's silver lace,
Actors emerged, conjured in time and space,
Each line a lantern, each pause a breath,
In the stillness of night, defying death.

From distant lands, their tales would arrive,
To warm the hearts and keep the spirit alive,
As lanterns swayed, memories intertwined,
In every traveler's soul, a world defined.
