Salvador Dalí: Family of marsupial centaurs
Bounty had left England in 1787 on a mission to collect and transport breadfruit plants from Tahiti to the West Indies. A five-month layover in Tahiti, during which many of the men lived ashore and formed relationships with native Polynesians, led many men to be less amenable to military discipline.
Today is #WombatDay! Wombats had a special place in Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s heart and here in this pen drawing he laments the death of his wombat. Rossetti loved exotic animals and in a letter to his brother he described the arrival of his first pet wombat as ‘a Joy, a Triumph, a Delight, a Madness'. This drawing commemorates the short-lived second wombat. It is inscribed with a verse:
'I never reared a young wombat
To glad me with his pin-hole eye,
But when he was most
sweet and fat
And tail-less he was sure to die'

今天是 WombatDay!袋熊 Dante Gabriel Rossetti 心中一個特別的地方，這裡在這支鋼筆繪製惋惜他袋熊受死。羅塞蒂愛珍禽異獸和給弟弟的信中，他描述了他第一次的寵物袋熊 '歡樂、 勝利、 喜悅、 瘋狂' 的到來。這幅畫是為了紀念短暫的第二個熊。它刻有一首詩: '我永遠不會飼養年輕的袋熊，很高興我銷孔的眼睛，但他最甜蜜和脂肪和尾欠他的時候一定會死' 地 HTTP://ow.ly/D6Daq
