Like the Idalian queene,
Her haire about her eyne,
With necke and brests ripe apples to be seene,
At first glance of the morne
In Cyprus gardens gathering those faire flowrs
Which of her bloud were borne…

—William Drummond of Hawthornden (1585–1649), “Like the Idalian queene”

Something for #europeday...

Europe's Revels, a dance by John Eccles, from his interlude, Europe's Revels for the Peace, which was performed at court and at London theatres in 1697.
This image of the dance comes from The Dancing Master, Henry Playford, 1698

Apparently it is #NationalStrawberryDay today.
This seems like the wrong time of year (and I wonder if #turnips might not be more appropriate at the moment), but I'll jump on the bandwagon with a #video of Strawberries and Cream (or Ginnie Pug) from Playford's Dancing Master, 1670.

Top result of today's auction in Paris: not #Cervantes or #Rabelais, but #Descartes - a 3-page letter to Constantijn Huygens fetched 560,000 euros (i.e. 705,600 euros with fees), almost ten times its estimate. Philosophy and science easily beat literature in the saleroom these days.
