"And then they saw a snow-white swan
Come drawing down the tide,
A little boat of pearly sheen,
And a stately Knight that sat therein
And seem'd its course to guide."

If a #fairy helps you, don't offer it money. Offer instead:

"Wit or beauty, troth to duty,
Strength to conquer or obey,
Heart to give well, soul to live well.
Such alone is Fairies' pay."

- British Fairy and Folk Tales, 1920
