Steady Peddlin’: Falling Over The Edgeworth

Edgeworth Poplin Shirt ($86.00 $43.00)

Excerpt from The Journal of Edgeworth David on his expedition with The Nimrod: Was it a dream, a vision, or an impossible reality? I pray it was not the latter. It began in the camp, late. I kept the fire burning and was awake well past the other men. I thought I heard beasts out in the darkness, though nothing can survive here. The sounds, they seemed to be coming through the ice. I think I drifted off for a moment, for when I came to there was a blue glow coming through my tent, as if the morning had begun in menacing earnest. When I opened the flap however, I saw that the light came from a single source, a strange illuminated ball in the distance, some 100 yards away. The men they were… there was something on them. Upon each of their faces was a creature, like a starfish but jet black and heaving.

I wanted to help them but I was invariably drawn towards the light. Approaching it I wore no jacket or fur but felt no cold, instead a warmth, sweat beading on my forehead. Sweat, or perhaps blood. The light was blinding as I got closer, but when I arrived its center faded away, and in its place I viewed an immaculate white goat, its head twisted so its knotty beard faced the heavens. From the ice at each of its legs gnarled tree roots protruded, wrapping its hooves and holding it to the ground. Through the thin ice I could see the superstructure below, and I knew its name. Yggdrasil, the world tree. Blood leaked from the mouth of the goat, unburdened by gravity and floating slightly upwards in perfect spheres. There was movement behind me.

When I awoke, I held in my hands a small ochre gem and a blank book, bound in a material unknown to me and yet strangely familiar. I fear its pages will one day reveal themselves. The men, they act as if nothing has happened, but one of the dogs is missing and I found some blood swept under a drift of snow. They whisper now, as I write. I am afraid. They all wear the same shirt. It comes in Fire Red and Winter Blue.
