Delicate sea-angels line the
coastal sands with stones of lapis lazuli, far from the shores of Myanmar.
They bathe in the
blueness of evening light, waiting the Thunder
Moon of summer. As I. At the Ends of the Earth. For you. |
The
Romans believed that lapis was a powerful aphrodisiac. In the Middle Ages, the
stone was thought to free the soul from error, jealousy, fear, and purge melancholy.
