The Alnwick Poison Garden is pretty much what you’d think it is: a garden full of plants that can kill you (among many other things). Some of the plants are so dangerous that they have to be kept behind bars. [x]

Hildegard von Bingen’s 23 litterae ignotae, letters for her constructed mystical language Lingua Ignota, ca. 1200.

Night is not less wonderful than the day . . . it is lit by the splendor of the stars and it reveals things to us that the day does not know. Night is closer than day to the mystery of all beginning. The abyss is open only by night: day spreads a veil over it.

Nicolas Berdyaev, "The Middle Ages"
