the sticky berries against the bark of a tree. Birds, especially the thrush, spread
mistletoe by wiping their beaks on trees after they have eaten the berries.
Mistletoe
“The day that is no day calls for a tree
That is no tree, of low yet lofty growth.
When the pale queen of Autumn casts her leaves
My leaves are freshly tufted on her boughs.
Look, the twin temple-posts of green and gold
The overshadowing lintel stone of white
For here with white and green and gold I shine -
Graft me upon the King when his sap rises
That I may bloom with him at the year’s prime,
That I may blind him in his hour of joy.”
- Robert Graves, The White Goddess

diseases (nosodes) and hereditary weaknesses (miasms). You will learn more
