My brother warned me that if I whistled in a graveyard, a ghost would follow me. He was right.

from my grandmother
Don’t break mirrors
Don’t step on cracks
Always wish on the first star you see

Fillet of a fenny snake
In the cauldron boil and bake.
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blindworm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Shakespeare

I’m falling in love with the vibrant colors as the leaves transform,
I'm falling in love with the smell of spiced pumpkin cakes, pies and cookies,
I'm falling in love with the cold October rain,
I'm falling in love with October again and again.

Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale!
