I'll be your sunken peace, painting the sea

It is my birthday. I am forty-one years old, which means I am the age of I have no idea which fictional characters—I will take suggestions, since the only one to occur to me was dubiously omened. This is a harder birthday to celebrate than some years, but I woke to three cards and a book and the air is full of buffeting sunshine. The cats are purring. It must count for something to be still here.

Is this the year we heist the Elgin Marbles, thereby getting ourselves into fiction for decades?

Anyway, happy birthday.

The curators will probably help us sneak out before the government notices!

Anyway, happy birthday.

Happy birthday!

In some genres of fiction, this would be the age when you would start discovering your previously unknown magic powers and meet a hot werewolf.

Oh! Happy birthday! I can't think of any canonically 41-year-old fictional characters either, but so many have no specified age that I'm sure you can appropriate any of the ones you like that seem broadly in the right bracket. Hope your day continues pleasantly.

Sometimes it counts for everything. I am exceptionally glad of it. I hope the day is happy and that happier ones are coming. P.

Happy birthday! This year, into light.

Dorothy Sayers (b. 1893) must have been 41 when she wrote Gaudy Night (1935). And as noted, primes are cool.

I hadn't calculated that about Sayers. Thank you!
