<<When FALCONS are pictured wearing a hood,
they symbolize prisoners;
that treasure which is hidden in jars of clay [2 Cor 4:6-7]
or stifled by ignorance and sin [Is 58:9-11;John 1:4-5]; or
communion with & hope in the light which is Christ
in spite of the surrounding night [2 Sam 22:29;
Psa 112:4; Is 42:16; John 8:12].
As Micah wrote, contemplating the destruction of Israel,
=20
"when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in the darkness,
the LORD will be a light to me." [Micah 7:8]
Renaissance printers used the logo
of a hooded FALCON along with the words
"Post Tenebras Spero Lucem" (After darkness I hope for light).>>

The Legend of the FALCON Crest
http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~lenker/lengerke/crest.html
<<Once upon a time a very demanding German princess had two ladies
in waiting, Isidore & Adelaide, and she loved them very much. The
princess disliked all knights that courted the young women. One day,
a handsome & brave knight appeared and soon became the favorite of
both Isidore & Adelaide. The princess tried to keep the knight away
from her ladies, and he became very disheartened. The only joy
left to him was FALCONry. He possessed a beautiful white
FALCON which be had raised himself and which he used
to carry on his arm. Even more than his FALCON,
however, he loved Adelaide. The princess
became aware of this secret love, and so did Isidore,
who herself had passionately fallen in love with the knight.
One day when Adelaide was kneeling down before the little altar in
her chambers, the evening sun cast a ray on the window sill and on
the little FALCON who was perched there. The FALCON wore
a purple velvet cap, on which was written, embroidered with pearls:
P.T.S.L. (Post Tenebras Spero Lucem)
(After the darkness hope for light). Adelaide recognized the bird,
and so did Isidore who happened to witness this event and she
selfishly re****ted it to the princess. On the first official occasion
the princess announced her desire for an engagement between
the owner of the FALCON and the now very happy Adelaide.
From that point on the FALCON only took its food
from Adelaide's hand a picture of the FALCON
was to be seen on the ****eld of the knight.>>

<<In 1377, Edward III bestowed Fotheringhay upon his 5th son,
Edmund of Langley, and ten years later, when Edmund was
created the first duke of YORK, he brought the falcon,
fetterlock and ostrich feather into the YORKist heraldry.
He replaced [Fotheringhay=B9s] wooden castle with a stone
building, the rather limited remains of which can be seen today.
The keep was founded on a ground plan
resembling a padlock - the fetterlock.>>

THE FIRST EDITION OF "DON QUIXOTE." 1605
<<We see a hooded FALCON resting on the gloved hand of a man
hidden from view. Swirling shapes, possibly mist, on one side only,
stress the fact that the FALCONer is hidden, just out of sight.
Around the arm and the bird is the inscription:
Post Tenebras Spero Lucem
after darkness I hope for light.
Beneath the FALCON a lion is keeping his eye on the bird.
It could be said that both the lion and the FALCON hope for light
after the darkness, for the clear light of day after the dark
night, or a time of impaired vision. The lion could symbolise
England; the FALCON could be Cervantes. Who is the FALCONer?
The inscription takes us to Chapter 68 of the 2nd Part of Don Quixote,
in which the knight tells Sancho Panza that he too hopes for light:
O hard heart! oh ungodly Squire! oh ill given bread, and favours ill
placed which I bestowed, and thought to have more & more conferred
upon thee . . . for I Post Tenebras Spero Lucem. I understand
not that, said Sancho, only I know that whilest I am sleeping,
I neither feare nor hope, have neither paine nor pleasure.
In Cervantes' text, Quixote follows the words in Latin with a
translation into the vernacular: "after darkness I expect light".
Sancho, however, still says "I don't understand that".
Shelton's version makes sense. It seems that Cervantes' explanation has
been added to help the reader, but it is a mistake, as it makes Sancho's
reply incomprehensible. Was Cervantes' text a translation of Shelton?>>

Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens"

were straggling and irregular, but the following
fragment of an inscription was clearly to be deciphered:--

Mr. Pickwick's eyes sparkled with delight>>
. . . . . . .
<< Mr. Blotton, with a mean desire to tarnish
the lustre of the immortal name of Pickwick, actually
undertook a journey to COBHAM in person, and on his return,
sarcastically observed in an oration at the club, that he had
seen the man from whom the stone was purchased; that the man
presumed the stone to be ancient, but solemnly denied the
antiquity of the inscription--inasmuch as he represented it
to have been rudely carved by himself in an idle mood,
and to display letters intended to bear neither
more or less than the simple construction of--
'BIL. STumPS, HIS MARK'; and that
Mr. STumPS, being little in the habit of original composition,
and more accustomed to be guided by the sound
of words than by the strict rules of orthography,
had omitted the concluding 'L' of his Christian name.>>
