Lepus
"Hermes placed the hare in the sky because
of its swiftness, Eratosthenes tells us. Both Eratosthenes and
Hyginus referred to the remarkable fertility of hares, as
attested to by Aristotle in his Historia
Animalium: ‘Hares breed and
bear at all seasons, superfoetate (i.e. conceive again) during
pregnancy and bear young every month. They do not give birth to
their young all at once, but bring them forth at
intervals."’ Ian Ridpath
Charmed by the Writer
An ink bottle, a book of Shakespeare, a typewriter, an owl, a poetry circle (T.S.Eliot).

Vintage Find - The Fake Rembrandt
"This is a high-quality print of a painting called 'The man with a golden helmet' which was for a very long time attributed to Rembrandt and exposed in the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin.
It was finally considered as a fake one by a new appraisal in 2007."
