“Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.”
― William Butler Yeats

Nice beardy but anonymous #historicalhottie for my collection of cartes de visites. Appropriately by a photographer in Bath named J. Beard.

Well, I was today years old when I realised what a #historicalhottie Chekhov was in his youth.

I’m a month late to Coates’ story of a very modest and brave #HistoricalHottie but the thread is worth your time.
It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

This #historicalhottie was William Saumarez Smith (1834-1909), probably in the 1850s when a student @trincollcam.bsky.social. He won many prizes, was President of the Cambridge Union, & ended his life rather grandly as the first Archbishop of Sydney. @theulspeccoll.bsky.social Portraits.e.53.

I’m looking through a website of historical pictures of York and found this #HistoricalHottie. I do like that look on a man. No idea what the machine is 🤷♂️
