Abstraction and memory.

Scraps of cyanotype coated tissue paper - forgotten parts of other works - laid out in up to 6 layers as 'negatives'.

Sun reveals the constructed image. It reminds me of [ ].

And you?

It's a strange creative process.

Like searching for the memory of something you had forgotten that you remembered.

#OTD Charles Swain, English #Poet, is born.

His poem, Forgive & Forget, is a #Keeper.

#Forgive & #Forget! The #World would be #Lonely,
The #Garden a #Wilderness left to deform,
If #Flowers but #Remembered the chilling #Winds only,
& #Fields gave no #Verdure for fear of the #Storm!

Then away with the #Cloud from those #Beautiful #Eyes
That brow is no #Home for such #Frowns to have met:
Oh! How could our #Spirits ever hope for the #Skies,
If #Heaven refused to forgive & forget.

Sending you all warm #Wishes for #Peace + #Joy + a very #MerryChristmas.

To every #Hearth a little #Fire,
To every #Board a little #Feast,
To every #Heart a #Joy,
To every #Child a #Toy,
#Shelter for #Bird and #Beast.

- Rose #Fyleman, #English #Writer & #Poet, A #Christmas #Wish

Rose is #Remembered for her #Writings about #Fairy #Folk for #Children.

Her #Poem "There are #Fairies at the bottom of our #Garden" was set to #Music by #English #Composer Liza Lehmann.

#OTD Edward Bunyard, #English #Nurseryman, #Pomologist, #Rosarian, & #Food #Writer, is born.

Edward #Wrote, A #Handbook of Hardy #Fruits & The #Epicure's Companion.
Every #Christmas, he enjoyed his #Favorite #Apple, Orléans Reinette, with a glass of #Port.

He is #Remembered for his #Landmark #Book, The #Anatomy of #Dessert, in which he wrote,

It is the duty of an apple to be #Crisp + #Crunchable, but a #Pear should have such a
#Texture as leads to #Silent #Consumption."

Said #Winter, as he strove to frown,

"#Why do you #Love me young and old?
The drifting #Snows my forehead #Crown,
My #Heart is hard, my blood is #Cold."

"Ah, no!" said both, "We love you well,
For #Fresh delights #Remembered long;
Your voice is #Merry as a #Bell,
& all your accents sound like #Song.
So #Smile old Winter, smile again,
You but pretend our #Foe to be;
You #Warm & #Cheer the #Hearts of men;
We love you for your jollity."

- Charles Mackay, #Scottish #Poet, #Happy Winter, Verse One

#OTD John Tyndall, #Irish experimental #Physicist, died.

In 1859, he discovered the #Greenhouse effect - 3 years after the American #Scientist, Eunice Foote.

Tyndall is #Remembered for learning why the #Sky is #Blue: #Light scattering through #Molecules suspended in the #Atmosphere creates the #Color, which is sometimes referred to as #Tyndall #Blue.
