Day four, colour, texture, poetry, eulogy 💀

Day three 🔥 “It has always been the case, for me at least, that a novel has grown from a tiny seed, and then the stem, branches, and leaves developed gradually, until the tree was finished, but there was never any design, such as one draws up for a building. I think that the whole work becomes more credible when it grows in this manner and is not built up, more like nature’s own work.” - Selma Lagerlöf, in a letter to a colleague, 1932

Beauty day for some table work ☀️📝 @vancouverpubliclibrary #selmalagerlöf #thelöwensköldring

Ok last one just kidding make me stop . Selma Lagerlöf, teacher, author, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, gave us the first volume of her Löwensköld trilogy in 1925 titled “The Löwensköld Ring” . JRR Tolkien, celebrated myth-maker and world-builder, published his own trilogy in 1954/55 called “The Lord of the Rings” . Tolkien no doubt found Lagerlöf’s work inspirational, or dare we say… ‘precious’ . Come celebrate the original Lady of the Ring at the workshop presentation of “Selma Lagerlöf’s The Löwensköld Ring” on Saturday, October 28th at ANNEX .

Day two, some movement in space, forests, soldiers, worms and tombs 🪦

Okay one more sorry not sorry . Selma Lagerlöf, Swedish master of ghost stories, folk tales, fairy tales, and family epics, gave us the first volume of her Löwensköld trilogy in 1925 titled “The Löwensköld Ring” - about a lost ring passed down by a dead king, and a patriarchal lineage that must be broken . JRR Tolkien, uberfan of Norse folk and fairy tales and Oxford’s leading Scandiphile, took heavy inspiration from Lagerlöf for his own trilogy published in 1954/55 called “The Lord of the Rings” - about a lost ring passed down by a dead king, and a patriarchal lineage that must be restored . Come celebrate the original Lady of the Ring at the workshop presentation of “Selma Lagerlöf’s The Löwensköld Ring” on Saturday, October 28th at ANNEX .
