Why a spider?

Spiders work hard. Spiders are always creating. Spiders create beautiful intricate designs from delicate silk that is stronger than steel.

Spiders catch their prey.

ARACNIDA in Greek Mythology

Aracnida was from Lydia and she had no rival in the art of embroidery. She wanted to compete with Minerva, embroidering a work where was represented the immortals’ love. Minerva, desperate for not being able to find the slightest imperfection in that work, and considering herself beaten, destroyed it, converting Aracnida into the animal still known by her name.

A Noiseless Patient Spider

Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.

A NOISELESS, patient spider,

I mark’d, where, on a little promontory, it stood, isolated;

Mark’d how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding,

It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself;

Ever unreeling them—ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you, O my Soul, where you stand,

Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space,

Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing,—seeking the spheres, to connect them;

Till the bridge you will need, be form’d—till the ductile anchor hold;

Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul.

Arthur Rimbaud, Collected Poems (1962)

From Oliver Bernard's translation

In the winter, we shall travel in a little pink railway carriage
With blue cushions.
We shall be comfortable. A nest of mad kisses lies in wait
In each soft corner.

You will close your eyes, so as not to see, through the glass,
The evening shadows pulling faces.
Those snarling monsters, a population
Of black devils and black wolves.


Then you'll feel your cheek scratched...
A little kiss, like a crazy spider,
Will run round your neck...


And you'll say to me : "Find it !" bending your head
- And we'll take a long time to find that creature
- Which travels a lot...
