This Day In History - July 28, 1866

July 28, 1866

Helen Beatrix Potter Birthday



Today is the birthday of Helen Beatrix Potter. She was born on July 28, 1866 and died on December 22, 1943. Potter will always be known as the writer of the Peter Rabbit books. But she was not only an author. Her interests included entomology, geology and paleontology and were only surpassed by her interest in mycology, the study of fungi. For years she collected specimens, identified and dissected them, painted them in minute detail and even developed theories on mold spores and lichens. She painted hundreds of watercolors of all varieties of fungi.

Below are a few of her illustrations:

Hmm...Kinda makes you wonder if she ever indulged in the magical mushrooms.

Today while walking up the stairs
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh how I wish he'd stay away

Considering that magic mushrooms weren't introduced into modern Western culture until R. Gordon and Valentina Wasson encountered Maria Sabina in the mid-20th century, I'd say that's rather unlikely.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

But people did ingest those in that time
during the french wine drought, many years ago, people were encouraged to eat amanitas. But I don't remember the source:confused:

Considering that alot of her stories are about someone chasing a rabbit, I would say it's very possible.:2cents:
