This is an engagingly discursive, informative, and rather poetic piece about: woad. A must-read if you are an ancient-Anglophile, if you are interested in the history of textile, self-decoration, botanical chemistry (or alchemy ...) and dyes. Or, for that matter - if you're just a science nerd, happen to like indulgent writing in service of a narrowly particular but interesting subject ... or love the color blue.
I enjoyed this piece a great deal, hope you will too. "Indican surrender" ... the writing is so very good. Evocative. The voice reminds me of my brother at his best.
