| Charles Dickens makes the association of the cricket on the hearth with human feel- ing & actions linking this moment to one's fate in his book "Cricket On The Hearth." |
Tonight enter her poetic interval
attend a cricket in your hearth’s deep song
Hestian plumes these fumes lumen
pneuma neither of gods nor men

notes
1. One epithet for the Goddess Hestia is oily-haired. Hestia, in this sense, tends the interval/gap/space shaping "the real" or "femininity" with characteristics belonging to the material imagination in the form of magical hair.
