The post I had intended for tonight is not finished. It’ll go up tomorrow. But because I do not want to let the day slip away without anything here to show for it, I’m posting a couple of videos I find myself returning to throughout the year. They’re both spooky and extraordinarily beautiful.

This first is a dramatization of Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Conqueror Worm”, set to Saint-Saens’s “Danse Macabre”.

This second is the video for “I Say Fever” by Ramona Falls. Whenever I feel inspiration flag I can watch this and feel something inside me start to smolder.
