If only I had a wolf to hug.

Hope.

And I would jump into this other world without a moment's hesitation.

An Irish tale says a girl kicked a pregnant frog with the words: may you never be delivered until I'm midwife to you.

The frog was a fairy living in the lake and the girl became the fairy's midwife. Her reward was a red cloak. She put the cloak on a tree, the tree caught fire.

'Out with you upon the wild waves, children of the king!
Henceforth your cries shall be with the flocks of birds.'
-Joseph Jacobs, The Fate of the Children of Lir.

And when the moon is clear
I stare and stare till fairy foam
Is music in my ear'

According to a Flemish folktale a woman who was thought to be a witch only left her house during the winter months. It's said she gave her neighbours a fright by gifting them enchanted apples that would dance during the night.
