About Me
- Jonathan
- Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

more platyhelminth activity
ah ha... the elephantiasis grandma is dated 1982.
Re-read Algernon Blackwood's The Glamour of the Snow -- top shelf writing. The theme of the tripartite worlds brings to mind Hesse's Demian.

flatworm
more oddities -- two pages from issue 4, I believe, from the early 1980s. The non-traditional format had the pages shaped like flatworms; Safe to say this is the only time this has been done. At least one Portland-area bookstore carried the issue.
Dream of a stall selling back-scratchers, ornate ones; one like some early American folk art, and another a First Nations production, including a narwhal fin image.
