The Fay had flown from fairy-land
To usher spring on earth;
With golden tresses, wand in hand,
Her beauty caused much mirth.
Like butterfly, white winged, she came
In flowing bridal veil;
And as she trod the world, the dame,
Flowers of hues filled dale.
The air perfumed spread far and wide
And lured insects and birds;
She glanced around landscape with pride,
And spoke soft verdure words.
The queen of seasons, spring brought cheer
And winter vanished fast;
Then came all beasts including deer,
Victim of magic cast.
Spring’s Fairy Queen by John Celes

I know everyone cites Percy Jackson, Harry Potter or The Secret History as their entry into dark academia, but I think we’ve all been forgetting these??
Literally any modern academic, astrology, historian could be tied to these. The art in them and the interactive aspects?? Forget anything else THIS was the blueprint. We all wish our bullet journals and study notes looked like these.
Not to mention there is a film in development with the premise of “a research institute, where the fringe sciences that no one else takes seriously are studied in earnest”??!!! Guys it’s made for us. Everyone go thank author Dugald Steer!
And also make your own book like this for your subject specialty so I can enjoy learning like a kid again. Maybe I’ll present my master’s thesis in one of these bad boys, who knows?
