An Ursus upon Saint Lucy's Day


For Saint Lucy's Day, December 13, "the year's deep midnight..."
"I am every dead thing,
         In whom Love wrought new alchemy."  
(--John Donne)


Photo by me, after "Saint Lucy" painting by Francesco del Cossa (b. Ferrara, Italy), c. 1473, National Gallery, London, UK:

P.S. The round box on Lucy Bear's chest is the broken squeeze-box I discovered un-stuffing the bear today. 

Other toy re-creations of art/images: "toy tableaux".

    Ah! St. LucyBear's heart could be shattered and put into a thousand reliquaries. She is beautiful, Fresca, and I love her. St. LucyBear, pray for us.
