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.''


 * 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)
