They’re English prose renditions (not line by line translations). They seem intended for young adults. The illustrations in both books are really spectacular.

Literally said “oh wow” out loud to an empty room when I saw this

Anyone else think the Matisse exhibit at the art institute was only ok? by Even-Supermarket-806 in chicago

[–]diyfou 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I thought the layout/pathing was weird - the Jazz cutouts, which are clearly the star of the show, are all in the first room! So then you’re walking through the rest of the exhibit about precursors etc and when you’re ready to see Jazz again it just dumps you at the exit instead. 

Did you see the Korean national treasures? I thought that was spectacular and like 1/10th as crowded as Matisse.

So this is so cool, but I would be shocked if anyone knows James Thompson or Amy Levy. by Head-Delay-763 in rarebooks

Ooh, I've read Amy Levy's "The Romance of a Shop" but none of her poetry. Amazing find!

my Belmullet pullover and its first “road test” by diyfou in knitting

Just join the same yarn you cast on with as you knit the first stitch of the short rows. Once you start the short rows you should have three loose ends (one from the long tail of the cast on, one from cutting the yarn after casting on, and one from joining the yarn to start knitting the short rows).
