The First of April, MDCCCLI
Life, the Universe, Excruciatingly Roseate Coneys, World Illumination, and Whatnot
From left to right: Feather, Muse of Herbaceous Borders and Edible Vegetation; Aeiou, Muse of Procedural Specifications; Pwt, Muse of Animals; perched upon Pwt’s hat, Crraw, Muse of Regrettable Verse; Urania, Muse of Astronomy; embossed upon the façade of the Crystal Palace above Urania’s head, Cocoapelly, Muse of Melodies and Malicious Merriment; Bo, Muse of Miscellanea; Mimi, Muse of Social Graces; Chad, Muse of Ironmongery and Extremely Intricate Machines.
Pwt, while extremely loyal and determined, has never never seemed particularly daring to me. En did, however, state in an obscure product that a few devoted Musers sometimes use, that en was male, and I see no reason for en to have lied. Therefore, I consider it reasonable to henceforth refer to en as male.
Judging from the illustration, I should say that Pwt is either a man or a rather daring woman.
It is not unheard-of for women to adopt masculine dress. Mme Dupin, who writes so copiously under the nom de plume George Sand, does so habitually. Other women, on the grounds of practically, prefer the sort of garment Mimi is wearing in the picture, said to be inspired by Syrian native costume and popularly known as Bloomers.

Or maybe it was he. Now that I think about it, I can’t quite remember.
My utmost apologies, I did not notice this was a thread, so I posted on the salon.
Ah, Saturn’s moon, but in an issue of our great magazine, Muse, Cocoapelly referenced en as a her, as in “What if she wakes up in a box” My memory fails me on the issue though…
I say, what a marvellous painting, Lady Coneyful!
I must say, Pwt looks absolutely dashing. I suppose the issue of his gender has been fully resolved.
O Spirit,
If you have in mind the “What You Will” Salon, you can find it here.
Greetings. I have been gone rather long. I cannot find the thread of random postings. Can you please assist me in finding it?
Beautiful! What a fine peice of art.
Ooo! Absolutely delightful, Lady Coneyful!
The Muses look wonderful!
Quite remarkable indeed, Lady Coneyful!
Simply Marvelous!
