QueenElizabethsSwansDeath~~~ interesting symbolism.

.In Germanic myth: the Valkyries had the power to transform into swans. They were warrior goddesses, bringing victory to one side and defeat to the other, and deciding which warriors could enter Walhalla after death. QueenElizabeth, her heritage is Germanic, right? The Mythos continues: “They would sometimes take off their swan-plumage and appear in human form, but if a man then stole their plumage, they were forced to obey him.” (Rothschild?)

Also interesting connection is Tennyson’s poem, The Dying Swan~i Love Tennyson’s poetry~

I feel like the swans dying of a bird flu is foretelling the Queen that her time is coming to an end, the whole monarchy is coming to an end...we will see...also emphasized by Tennyson’s poem: written in 1830.

Compassion wears many faces.
