Dr. Swan, Medicine Woman.
She may be a quack, but you can’t duck her bills.

Did the swan have a wing-man?

This is tame compared to other paintings about the myth. Look up Francois Boucher’s painting of 1740. Basically full blown bestiality.

I do not know about this, but:
“Seven swans a-swimming” is supposed to be about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I certainly hope not. Going into detail is downy sodomy, you silly goose.

Makes sense that God destroyed this place, literally with fire and brimstone.
while i understand where you are coming from, there are a lot of places in this country that are worse than anything the romans did. be careful where you point your fire and brimstone
