The Ballachulish figure which was discovered in a bog at Ballachulish in Inverness-shire. The figure dates to the Iron Age, and was possibly a goddess. Now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. 📸 My own. #Woodensday #IronAge #Ballachulish

He was among the most influential poets of the 20th century, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his 1947 long poem The Age of Anxiety and remembered for works including Funeral Blues and The Unknown Citizen. His memorial stone in the Abbey's Poets’ Corner was unveiled in October 1974 by the Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman.

For #Michaelmas - the feast of St Michael and All Angels - we wanted to share this censing angel on the wall of the Abbey's south transept. Carved in the 1250s, it was originally richly coloured and gilded and is among the most important examples of English medieval sculpture of its time.

The fir-cone jerked out of his paw into the river. “Bother,” said Pooh, as it floated slowly under the bridge. It was a peaceful sort of day, so he lay down and looked at the river, and it slipped slowly away beneath him… and there was his fir-cone slipping away too. ~A.A.Milne

Today is Michaelmas, the autumnal feast of the mighty St Michael the Archangel - in medieval tradition the guardian of high places, weigher of souls after death, heavenly warrior against the forces of evil, and defender against the dark. aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-sele…

One of the most important books in our collection is the Litlyngton Missal, a beautifully illuminated 14th-century service book which was made for the Abbey's High Altar. The Latin manuscript contains the readings and prayers used at the celebration of the Mass, along with a calendar of festivals and saints’ days. The manuscript was made by four artists at Westminster between 1383-84 and its 682 pages are beautifully decorated with coloured inks and gold leaf. A scribe called Thomas Preston laid out the work and wrote the text. He lived at the monastery while he worked on the manuscript, and later joined the Abbey as a monk. He was aided by two unknown artists who painted the illuminated initials and the decorative boarders. A third artist produced a magnificent crucifixion scene, the only full-page illumination in the missal. The missal was commissioned by Abbot Nicholas Litlyngton for use at the Abbey's High Altar, and was paid for from his personal funds. The Missal is on permanent display in our museum, The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Galleries, and you can see it when you visit us. #ManuscriptMonday

It's the eve of Michaelmas, the great feast of St Michael and All Angels - an invocation of the powers of light as the year turns towards the darker days of autumn. Here's a thread on Michaelmas daisies, geese, moons, and other traditional namesakes of the angels' feast.

Michaelmas, on 29 September, is not only an important festival in the church year but in England also historically the autumn quarter-day. It marked a moment of transition: the shift from the harvest season into later autumn, the start of new contracts and new school terms.

“Hallo, Eeyore,” said Piglet. “We just came to see how your house was. Look, Pooh, it’s still standing!” “I know,” said Eeyore. “Very odd. Somebody ought to have come down and pushed it over.” “We wondered whether the wind would blow it down,” said Pooh. ~A.A.Milne
