On the left is #wormwood and on the right #mugwort Theyre 1st cousins so to speak but there are some differences. The wormwood is prettier -turning a silvery green as it matures. Handling either without gloves tends to give a person strange dreams.🤔 I dry the wormwood and crush it sprinkle on my plant beds as a bug deterrent.
@rchristinalea @DarcyTheMailGirl No shame intended whatsoever. You’re already broadening my horizons tonight. I’ll live-toot my experience when I have my first #wormwood experience.
#December 10, 1891
#OTD Leonie "Nelly" Sachs, #German #Poet, is born.
In 1940, she fled to #Sweden where she lived the rest of her life. She was a #Poignant #Voice for her fellow #Jews.
In #Chorus of Comforters, she wrote,
No #Herb may be #Transplanted
From #Yesterday to #Tomorrow.
The #Sage has faded in the #Cradles--
#Rosemary lost its #Scent facing the new #Dead--
Even #Wormwood was only bitter yesterday.
We are #Gardeners who have no #Flowers
& #Stand upon a shining #Star
& #Weep.

#Introduction vol. 2 #Reintroduction
In case anyone is curious about the meaning of my first name #Pelin, it means #Wormwood or #Absinthe. I guess the word is of #Greek origin.
I'm a #Faculty member at a #Turkish university (in the department of #EnglishLanguage and #Literature. I mainly teach #Poetry classes besides Survey of English Literature, #Shakespeare, and occasionally others.
I'm married with no children, yet I have this beautiful #Cat #Samwise whom I call my "son."
