But here in this isle they thought themselves safe
After passing though many a narrow escape
For, except a few fish, these is nothing here
Of the things which mankind esteem and hold dear
Why then do you come with your church to displace
haunted of the fairies
#folklorethursday My all time favourite fairy story, The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. "The mountains were full of hollow places underneath; huge caverns, and winding ways, some with water running through them, and some shining with all colours of the rainbow"
